1 John Bobrowich Executive Director & CEO WERC Roadmap for Energy, Power and Control Growth in Wisconsin

2 Why Is Energy Vital ? America Uses $1.3 Trillion in Energy/Yr ($440 B in Foreign Oil) $4,000+ for Every Man, Woman and Child in America We Spend More on Energy than Almost Anything Else We Use Energy for Everything –Transportation, Health Care –Lighting, Heating, Cooling, Internet –TV, Cell Phones, Notebooks, I-Pads –Food Production, Water, Manufacturing and Defense

3 We are Wasting Too Much…

4 Energy Efficiency is the KEY ~60% of our Energy is WASTED An Incandescent Light Bulb Wastes 90% of its Energy, a Fluorescent Wastes 40% and LED 25% Major Opportunities for Savings –Electric Production Wastes 68% –Transportation Wastes 75% –Industry Wastes 20% + Elec Loss –Residential Wastes 20% + Elec Loss –Commercial Wastes 20% + Elec Loss ACEEE Says US Market is Projected to Grow from $300 to $700B/yr

5 Clean Energy Will Contribute 5

6 The Sixth Wave of Innovation? 6 Research and Innovation will Develop the Roadmap The Current World is Becoming Unsustainable The Population will Grow by 2B by 2050 According to Moody and Nogrady, the next wave of innovation will be Resource Efficiency We will go from “Green vs. Gold” to “Green is Gold” 1 st Wave- Water Power & Textiles, 2 nd Wave- Steam Engine & Railroads 3 rd Wave- Internal Combustion Engine 4 th Wave- Aviation Electronics & Space 5 th Wave- IT, Internet, Biotechnology

7 The Future in 2020* Solar and Wind Resources 20-30% of Electricity Generation Capacity Explosive Growth of Millions of Grid-connected EV’s The Eventual Death of Compact Florescent Favoring LED Technology Low-cost, Competitive Green Buildings that Produce More Energy then they Consume Waste Streams Becoming a Common Feedstock for New Materials and Energy Production 7 * Source: Clean Edge Study - 2011 Clean Tech Trends/Projections

8 Wisconsin is Well Positioned Approx 700 EPC Firms Over 950 Locations Over 61,000 Employees Largest Clusters in M-7, Dane County and Fox Valley Wisconsin is #4 in Clean Tech Jobs and #3 in Clean Energy Jobs on a Per Capita Basis Wisconsin Has a Critical Mass of Energy, Power & Control Firms

9 But… Behind in Innovation 9 Research and Innovation is the Key to Success in this Fast-Growing Industry 2008 Academic StateR&D ($1k) CA 7,026,354 NY 4,044,815 TX 3,744,182 PA 2,604,118 MA 2,271,757 NC 1,980,833 IL 1,972,752 OH 1,827,042 MI 1,593,654 FL 1,591,774 GA 1,521,486 WI 1,117,152 WA 1,058,170 VA 1,052,601 IN 954,188 CO 924,073 NJ 876,698 TN 787,122 MN 698,920 OR 594,945
