Solar Energy for Many Applications San
Francisco, CA Moscone Center 675,000 W
Kammen home 2400 W CA enacts Million Solar
Homes program (3,000 - 10,000 MW program
Key finding Investment in solar energy research
and deployment pays dividends for many
applications and for businesses across scales.

• Renewable energy goals established in Illinois
  and Minnesota
• RPS being considered in many other states (e.g.,
  VT, WA) potentially revised in others (ME, PA,
  WI) and national RPS is being discussed (by
  some)

A QUICK COMPARISON OF SEVERAL NEW AND EMERGING
GREEN VEHICLES AS YOUR PRIMARY, URBAN CAR
CONVENTIONAL VEHICLE (CV) e.g.
Ford Focus, 30 mpg HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV) Toyota Prius, 52 mpg PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV) Prius Plus, 80
mpg And then, Plug-In Hybrid cellulosic ethanol
PROTOTYPE ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV), 200
mpg FUEL-CELL, HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(FCHEV) Honda FCX (Gil Masters, Stanford Univ.)
