Presentation transcript:

 Efficient Vehicles  Reduce Use of Vehicles  Efficient Buildings  Efficient Baseload Coal Plants

 Fuel mileage needs to be cut in half Allot money to produce hybrid and electrical vehicles Promote the research of alternate fuels and energy sources

 Average of miles driven per car per year should be reduced Produce more public transits Addition of subways and urban trains

 Cut emissions of buildings in half  Reduce carbon in:  Space heating and cooling  Water heating  Lighting  Electric appliances

 Convert the fuel to electricity more efficiently at the power plant  Better turbines  High-temperature fuel cells  Combining fuel cells and turbines
