We choose to go to the moon in this decade
not because it is easy, but because it is
hard because that goal will serve to organize
and measure the best of our energies and skills
because that challenge is one that we are willing
to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and
one which we intend to win.President John
F. KennedyRice University, HoustonSeptember 12,

The Challenge
Our addiction to fossil fuels is threatening our
environment, our national security, and our
economy.

The Environmental Impact

• 19 of the 20 earths hottest summers on record
  have occurred since 1970.
• More than 20 of the Arctic ice cap has melted
  since 1979.
• Scientists expect the average global surface
  temperature to rise by as much as 4.5 degrees
  Fahrenheit over the next 50 years.
• Sea levels have risen 4 to 8 inches over the last
  century, due to global warming.
• An additional two foot rise in sea level would
  submerge over 10,000 square miles of land in the
  U.S. alone, an area the size of Massachusetts and
  Delaware combined.
• At the current rate of retreat, all of the
  glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone by
  2070.

National Security

• The U.S. currently consumes 25 of the worlds
  oil but sits on only 3 of the worlds proven
  reserves.
• In 1974, the U.S. imported 1 million barrels of
  oil a day from the Middle East today, over 2.5
  million barrels a day are imported from that
  unstable region.
• 2/3 of global oil reserves are located in the
  Middle East.
• Worldwide oil demand is expected to rise 48 by
  2030.
• China and Indias demand for oil will grow
  970,000 barrels per day this year, nearly 40 of
  total world growth.

The Economy

• Since 1998, Washington has lost more than 100,000
  manufacturing jobs.
• Nationally, more than 3.2 million manufacturing
  jobs have been lost.
• The worldwide clean energy industry is already
  experiencing double-digit growth.
• Wind power has averaged 32 growth per year for
  the past five years, attracting more than 7
  billion in investments in 2002 alone.
• The U.S. has transferred more than 1.16 trillion
  to oil producing countries over the past 30
  years, accounting for more than of a third of the
  U.S. trade deficit. The Department of Energy
  estimates that each 1 billion in trade deficit
  costs America 27,000 jobs.

The New Apollo Solution

• Create millions of high-skill, high-wage jobs in
  the new energy industry.
• Address global warming by reducing CO2 emissions
  to 1990 levels by 2015
• Strengthen our national security by reducing our
  dependence on foreign sources of oil by 2.4
  million barrels per day

The New Apollo SolutionIncentives

• Provide tax incentives to encourage American
  companies to manufacture new energy technologies
  domestically.
• Provide tax incentives for American consumers
  and businesses to purchase clean-energy
  technologies and renewables, and to improve
  energy efficiency.

16
The New Apollo SolutionPerformance Standards
Goals

• Meet 20 of the countrys energy needs from
  renewable resources by the year 2020.
• Meet 25 of the countrys energy needs through
  conservation and improved efficiency.
• Produce 5 billion gallons of renewable fuels per
  year by the year 2020.
• Establish a tradable allowance for carbon
  dioxide equivalence (as similarly proposed in the
  McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act).

17
The New Apollo SolutionLeveraging Federal
Buying Power

• Require the U.S. Export/Import Bank to meet
  renewable energy targets in its lending practices
• Require a minimum percentage of motor vehicles
  purchased by Executive agencies buy hybrid or
  high-efficiency vehicles, and introduce a biofuel
  purchasing requirement.
• Streamline rules for renewable energy
  development projects on public lands.
• Require the federal government purchase no less
  than 30 of its energy from renewable sources
  within 10 years.

The New Apollo SolutionResearch Development

• Greatly increase federally funded research in
  all areas of energy technology
• Improve coordination of technology transfers
  from our National Labs and universities for
  technologies derived through federal RD funding.
• Low interest loans and grants to assist in
  commercializing higher-risk technologies
• Interest-free loans to schools, municipalities,
  and local governments for the purchase of
  high-efficiency vehicles, renewable energy
  projects, and energy conservation

Apollo Project Has Broad Appeal (USWA Survey May
2003)
There is a proposal for the federal government to
make a major investment to help create new
manufacturing jobs, like when it supported
development of railroads/interstate highway
system. This plan would focus on developing new
technologies that would help make America energy
independent and protect the environment. This
effort would cost tax payers 200-300 billion
over next 10 years, and would create up to one
million good-paying manufacturing jobs in private
sector. Do you favor or oppose this plan?
