CEQA
U.S. Supreme Court April 2007, Massachusetts vs EPA
‘Environmental assessments must include global warming analyses.’
As of April 2008, the California Attorney General and environmental groups
weighed in on and challenged 14 major project decisions based on lack of
GHG-CO2 analysis. Challenges impacted projects on transportation, new
development, large scale planning, general and city plans. Settlement
included doing a GHG inventory and commitment to reduce and financial
considerations.
A.G. vs Conoco Phillips: Challenge to a refinery upgrade netted $10 million for
carbon emissions offsets, reforestation and wetlands.

PG&E (as of August 1, 2008)
Electrical rates have increased 6% per year since 2002.
Energy prices are increasing across the nation. Market experts are predicting
continued upward pressure on natural gas prices across the nation, which can cause
natural gas bills to increase, and can drive up the cost of electricity.
PG&E’s electric rates are currently forecasted to increase by about 4.4% on October 1,
2008, and by about another 11% on January 1, 2009.*

PE Consulting, 2008 Forecast on Rate Escalation in California- May 19, 2008
Natural Gas increased 22% per year over the last twenty years.
Electrical costs increased 4.5% per year over the last twenty years.
Electrical costs will increase 3-4% faster per year for an 8% or higher annual cost increase
for the foreseeable future.
Drivers to the increases in coming years are:
Population increases
AB 32 and Environmental Regulations in California
Global energy demand increases
Geo-politics
China/India Industrial revolution
AB 32 California ‘Global Warming Solutions Act’-2006:
Utilities will reduce emissions to 25% below 1990 levels by 2015.
Utilities will reduce emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
The Outlook for Energy-A View to 2030- ExxonMobile November 2007
Total world energy demand to grow by 40% by 2030.
Even with aggressive achievements in technology:
– Ten fold increase in solar each year,
– Double efficiency of vehicles,
– Start up of 120 nuclear plants,
– Cellulosic ethanol development,
– Bio-fuels production grows 8% each year,
– Reduction of coal by 40%,
– IGGC-Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, in-ground CO2 storage for coal,
– Decrease energy intensity by 1.6% per GDP each year (60% increase in efficiency),
Global Energy Demand Grows 1.2% each year.
MBDOE grows 1.3% each year through 2030.
Fossil fuel consumption increases 80% by 2030.
Oil and gas increases 60% by 2030.
Globale CO2 emissions double by 2030.

Criteria for Future Potential Projects
The criteria set forth for each potential project was:
–
The total maximum annual payment for both the cost of the solar installation and any
residual utility cost must not exceed current annual cost electricity for each meter.
–
The annual payment for the solar project remains fixed with no escalators attached.
–
The payment must result in ownership of the system by the District.
–
The payment period must not exceed 20 years.
–
All meters need to be analyzed.
–
The proposals must include a viable financial partner and contractual methodology.
–
The contractor and contractual methodology must demonstrate a successful track
record.

Global Warming
US EPA
Since 1850 Temp > 1.0 ° to 1.7° F
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in 2007 that
warming of climate is now “unequivocal”.
NOAA
 Since 1970’s temp > 1° F
 Eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have been since 1998
 Warming trends include both minimum and maximum temperatures
 Wide spread reduction in the number of days below freezing during last
half of 20th Century
 Temperature increases in Arctic 2X global rate
 Sea levels increased 4.8 to 8.8 inches during last century but mostly 19932003
