United States Low Carbon Economy
by 2032
For the United States to
have a Low-Carbon Economy, utility companies need to stop burning coal, oil
and natural gas in their power plants. As shown in the graphs, United States
is not only wasting 57.5% of the energy that is produced wasted but burning
of fossil fuels creates six billons of metric tons of carbon dioxide that
are destroying Earth�s environment. The initial goal is to reduce wasted
energy from 57.5% to 15%.

By upgrading fossil
power plants to
Mirror Power plants, which
are three times more efficient and don�t produce greenhouse gases;
continuing to build hydrogen and electric vehicles, and improving energy
efficiencies in homes, business and industrial applications, the following
benefits can be realized:
Energy Demand
is reduced by 50% from upgrading fossil power plants
and making more efficient vehicles for transportation. Energy Efficiency
increases from 42.5% to 85%. Another 10.5 million barrels per day or 3.7
billion barrels per year are saved.
Environmental:
Carbon dioxide
levels are reduced by 4 billion metric tons below 1990 levels: 2,300
million metric tons from upgrading fossil power plants 1,000 million metric
tons from transportation sector; plus 600 million metric tons of nitrous
oxides.
Economic: United States becomes major source of mirror energy
and petrochemicals that help bring every country into the 21st
century. The transformation of America�s economy creates ten of millions of
American high tech jobs.
American�s leadership and
technology helps countries move into the 21st century by
improving their economies and increase people�s standard of living. People
begin to understand that the purpose of government, education, and business
is to work collegiately together to help humanity.
