America's Energy Independence and
Low Carbon Economy Plan
January 6, 2009

Improving America�s 42.5% energy efficiency can solve the energy crisis and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Residential, commercial, & industrial sectors are 75% efficient; electric power sector 33% efficient; and transportation sector is 20% efficient. There are 250 million motor vehicles and thousands of fossil power plants burning billions of tons of coal, billions of barrels of oil, and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas and producing six billion metric tons of carbon dioxide.

In transportation and electric power, $1.47 trillion is wasted disposing of 14.7 trillion kilowatt-hours at 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. Motor vehicles and utility power plants energy efficiencies can be significantly increased and carbon dioxide dramatically reduce by having: 

Tesla Motors, General Motors, Ford Chrysler, and other automakers need to manufacture and sell millions of energy efficient hydrogen and electric passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks, which the currently being displayed to the public.

Utilities companies need to upgrade their fossil power plants to Mirror Power plants, which are three times more efficient and don�t produce greenhouse gas emissions and use the additional power for electricity or hydrogen for motor vehicles.

America�s energy efficiency increases from 42.5% to 85% as demand for energy drops by 50%.  Carbon dioxide decreases 1 billion metric tons to 1990 levels by 2020 and 5 billion metric tons or over 80% by 2032. Tens of millions of high tech jobs will stimulate American�s economy.
