6. A Potential Energy Strategy (With a Reduced Carbon Footprint) Production side: new electricity generation capacity with ‘clean’ coal, nuclear and renewable sources (intermittent!) Demand side: more efficient energy and capacity use via storage technologies for load leveling/peak shaving and to enable use of renewable sources

Energy Cost Estimates © 2011 All Rights Reserved Global GDP: $63,000,000,000,000 Energy Consumption: 517,000,000 TJ Maximum $/E: $120/TJ = $0.44/kWh Energy Costs at 10% of GDP (Usually Ideal) US: $.043/kWh Germany: $.068/kWh India/China:$.018/kWh These figures represent an desirable bound on the acceptable cost of energy generation. Renewable energy may be somewhat more expensive in special circumstances.

20. CONCLUSIONS oil use must be reduced for a sustainable future substitution of oil by electricity generated from diverse sources is a viable alternative renewable sources are attractive but must be reduced in cost requires developments of electricity storage technologies to also be reduced in cost and of increased reliability Development/deployment of new electrochemical storage technologies both for mobile assets and stationary assets is essential.
