1. Efforts by Local and Regional Governments to Link Transportation and Land Use Planning to Global Energy and Climate Change OR America’s Path to Energy Security Presented by Debbie Cook October 24, 2006 UCLA Conference Center

2. An Energy Mandate 42% of Americans say: Number One National Security Issue is Energy Independence ...we cannot solve this challenge without addressing land use and transportation.

3. Ready to face the challenges: • Leadership • Sense of Urgency • Timing • Energy Quality • Energy Quantity • Environment • Infrastructure • Economics • Exponential Growth • Lack of Participation

4. Who will provide the leadership?

5. People are confused: “There are plenty of reserves.” “It’s the greedy oil companies.” “Technology will save us.” “I can’t change anything.” “Government isn’t doing anything.”

6. We need: • Conservation • Efficiency • Electrified transport • CAFE standards • TOD • Green building stds • Localized services and agriculture • Plant trees • Assume high energy costs More Time/Less Carbon Less Time/More Carbon

8. Coal Natural Gas 20-25 million btu/short ton (will generate 2400 kwh) 210 120 1031 btu/cubic foot Pounds CO2 per million Btu 13.5 to 27.7 million btu/cord (128 cubic ft) 195 160 5,800,000 btu/barrel Wood Distillates

9. Largest moving object in the world. Holds 4.2 million bbls. World consumes 84 mmb/d US consumes 21 mmb/d

11. 68,000 one-mile trains/year

12. The LNG outlook is uncertain.

13. 150 Years of World Oil Extraction

14. How do we encourage participation? State Programs: • Appliance Energy Standards (CEC stds for 17 products) • Green Bldg. Standards for State (LEED Cert std for State funded bldgs) • 1998 Residential Bldg. Code (establish a minimum level of EE) • Vehicle GHG Standards (CA first) • EE Resource Standards • Renewable Energy Generation Tracking Systems • Green Pricing Programs • Net Metering Programs • Renewable Portfolio Standards (20% by 2010) • Public Benefit Funds • Voluntary GHG Registry • GHG Inventories • Active Climate Change Advisory Committee • Climate Action Plan • Emission Caps on some Power Plants • GHG Emissions Targets (2000 level by 2010)

15. What are you (as elected, staff, or citizen) willing to do to bring about a different outcome? Dance on the edge of your scope of authority.

16. SCAG Energy Working Group • Encourage ripeness of critical issues • Educate early and often • Provide services that add value Additional information: http://www.scag.ca.gov/rcp/energy.htm draft energy action plan: http://www.scag.ca.gov/rcp/pdf/Preliminary_Draft_Energy_Chapter051606.pdf

17. 165 Mayors from 37 states have signed a global warming initiative including 59 from California.

18. Who are we waiting for? We as individual citizens must embrace the culture of conservation so that we change the balance...I am suggesting a National effort in the way we behave and use energy, including autos, homes, work... John Hofmeister, Shell Oil
