Energy Facts

• The U.S. spends over 500 billion dollars
  annually on energy.
• Oil imports account for 55 percent of total U.S.
  consumption, up from 42 percent in 1990.
• Energy demand is projected to rise by over 30
  percent by 2020, much faster than the projected
  increase in domestic energy production.

42
U.S. National Energy Policy

• Key goals of the recent
• U.S. Department of Energy
• Comprehensive Energy Strategy
• include
• Diversify Americas energy supply by
• Promoting alternate and renewable sources of
  energy
• Encouraging the expansion of nuclear energy in a
  safe and secure manner
• Increasing domestic production of conventional
  fuels, and
• Investing in science and technology.
• Modernize the electric power infrastructure
• Expand strategic petroleum reserves

43

• We are part of the solution!

44

• Our University is uniquely qualified to tackle
  these critically important technological issues.
• Our research areas include all phases of the
  energy supply and demand system
• Transportation and transportation fuels
• Nuclear energy
• Energy production from clean coal, biomass,
  unconventional oil and natural gas, wind, and the
  sun

45

• We are the only University in the United States
  that has over 90 of its student body majoring in
  engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or
  business.
• We are the only University in the United States
  that has 16 different engineering bachelor degree
  programs.
• We are the only University in the United States
  that offers degree programs in Environmental

• Our students should be leaders in the social,
  political, and technological activities
  associated with building a sustainable future for
  the planet.

54
Proposal

• Lets make our campus green to show our students,
  our state, and all of our constituencies what a
  sustainable future could look like.

55
Example

• Lighting modification project
• Financed with a 712,855 low-interest loan from
  the Missouri Department of Natural Resources
  Energy Revolving Fund
• Over 10,000 lighting fixtures in 21 campus
  buildings
• Project a reduction of 2,400,000 kw hours in
  electric usage
• Annual savings of 220,000
• Average saving for each modified fixture is 55
• Savings amount to 6 of campus annual electrical
  usage

56

• We must organize our green campus activities
• Green minor
• Conservation challenge
• Reduce solid waste and increase recyclables
• Impose printing quotes on students
• Quantify green research
• Hydrogen car
• Residence halls challenge
• Monitor and record progress
• Encourage green-focused student organizations
• Work with surrounding community

Things to Do

• Organize our existing activities regarding all
  phases of energy and the environment.
• Promote the academic strengths of the Missouri
  University of Science and Technology in these
  areas.
• Attract financial support to invest in all phases
  of this sustainability initiative.
