What have we learned…. (Feb 2014)
• All scenarios are transformative• It’s technically possible to be much more
aspirational in goals (acceleration) – RMI• Efficiency can largely offset expected growth• Energy supply resources must be changed• Long term benefits outweigh costs
• - Increased near-term investment needed
• - Invest now for long term payback• A leadership position brings resources to
accomplish the goals5
