1. Hydro-Power Presentation sponsored by: Hydro-Solutions of New Hampshire Presenter: Jean-Philippe Dubois

2. The Problems • The global power market is approximately 474 exajoules (5×1020 J) • 80 to 90 percent of that comes from burning fossil fuels • Fossil fuels are known to contribute to global warming • Demand for energy is projected to rise 54% from 1995 to 2015 • It is estimated that with current increases in demands for oil, there is only 40 years left of oil, and less than 65 years left of coal • Just to get the “cheap” coal plants up to safe levels can cost hundreds of millions • Scrubber in Bow cost $457 million

4. How Hydro-Green Can Help • 100% renewable energy • Can be moved for optimal water flow • Very inexpensive after investment, just 4-7¢ per kW • Has already begun a full-scale commercial operation in Hastings, MN • Also has projects equivalent to 500 mW in 12 other states pending

5. Impact on the Planet • Very low impact on fish (97% are totally unaffected) • Zero emissions • Works at or above 98% capacity all the time • Average capacity of: Nuclear is 90%, Geothermal is 73%, Solar is 40%, and Wind is 25%

7. Rivers • Hydro-Green technology does not require existing infrastructure, such as dams, man-made channels, it only requires power cables to take the electricity away • A cost effective place to put this technology is just downstream of existing dams, because the current is faster, and there are existing power cables • By placing one or more Hydro-Green generators at existing dam areas, energy output can be increased by 2-10% • There are over 3,000 functioning dams in NH

8. Rivers • According to Big River Magazine “Hydro Green will pay about $240,000 to place the generator” • If we put one on every single dam in New Hampshire, generate abt 600 mW, • the average coal-fired power plant is only 500 mW • Doing this would cost about $720,000,000 • Seabrook Power Station cost approximately $14,000,000,000 in 2009 dollars

11. Ocean Power • HydroGreen technology can be placed on the ocean floor • No one can see them • Can be strung along large amounts of land, because so much unobstructed space • As of now, I am not advocating for ocean power, however this is an option for the future
