  3. Existing Net Summer Capacity by Energy Source Source: EIA, 1/4/2011 JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  4. Electric Generation Growth2008 to 2035 GWs JMR Energy Infra, LLC Source: EIA 2010 Annual Energy Outlook

  5. No New Nuclear Generation Sites 1997 - 2008 1,000 Net MW JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  6. NuclearTime and Money • The NRC’s new licensing process takes about 10 years to complete. • The estimated capital cost to build a new nuclear plant ranges from $4,000/kW to $8,000/kW. • The United States currently has 56,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from nuclear reactors. By the year 2035 it is expected to have 119,000 metric tons with no long term storage. JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  7. New Coal Fired Generation1997 – 2008 0 Net MW JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  8. CoalCarbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) • S is the problem. • CO2 is a colorless, odorless gas which is lethal to humans in a concentration of 10-11%. • To sequestrate CO2 • Many miles of pipe are needed. • Up to 23,000 miles of CO2 pipeline will be needed between 2010 and 2050 for CCS. (PNNL) • Permanent, non-cycling storage sites must be found. • Regulatory Environment Does Not Exist – eminent domain JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  9. New Non-Hydro Renewable Generation 1997 – 2008 23,000 Net MW JMR Energy Infra, LLC

  10. Wind and Solar Energy Land Use and Transmission • Land use: 500 MW facility • Wind: 30,000 acres • Solar: 3,500 acres • DOE 20 percent by 2030 – 300,000 MW • 13 to 18 million acres – Mass/Maryland/Conn • Renewable sources are not near the market • Current regulatory regimes for siting electric transmission are poor • S.1462 – Introduced July 16, 2009 JMR Energy Infra, LLC
