Energy is the single most important challenge facing humanity today.
Nobel Laureate Rick Smalley, April 2004, Testimony to U.S. Senate
..energy is the single most important scientific and technological challenge
facing humanity in the 21stcentury..: Chemical and Engineering News,
August 22, 2005.
What should be the centerpiece of a policy of American renewal is
blindingly obvious: making a quest for energy independence the moon shot
of our generation, Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times, Sept. 23, 2005.
The time for progress is now. .. it is our responsibility to lead in this
mission, Susan Hockfield, on energy, in her MIT Inauguration speech.

Renewable Electricity Technology Cost TrendsChart Notes, Page 1
Background
The Cost Curves are expressed in constant, 2000 year dollars and based on a uniform set of financial assumptions consistentwith Generating Company Ownership (balance-sheet financing).
Actual project costs can vary substantiallynot only over time, but from project to projectbased on variables such as sitingand permitting costs, land costs, transmission access, labor costs, and financing terms.
The Cost Curves are not based on specific project data, but are composite representations derived from a variety of sourcesoutlined below.
Historic costs from 1980 to 1995 generally reflect costs that were published in various DOE Renewable Energy Program planssuch as five-year program plans, annual budgets, and other program publications.
The Future Cost Curves generally reflect how the DOE Renewable Energy Programs expect the costs of renewable energy todecrease through lowered technology costs and improved performances, resulting from R&D efforts and other factors.
Projections of cost to 2020 for biomass, geothermal, and photovoltaic energy technologies are based on the DOE/EPRIRenewable Energy Technology Characterizations published in 1997. Wind and solar thermal costs represent more recent DOERenewable Energy Program projections.
The Cost Curves generally assume the availability of high-quality resources. This is an important point because systems using
lower quality resources are being built, in some cases with costs as much as double those shown.
The Cost Curves do not include the effects of tax credits or production tax incentives.

Renewable Electricity Technology Cost TrendsChart Notes, Page 2
General Observations
The renewable technology cost trends typically show a steep decline from 1980 to the present. Projections show this decline tocontinue, but at a slower absolute pace as the technologies mature.
Historic cost of energy trends reflected in this chart are in broad agreement with the trends published in Winner, Loser, orInnocent Victim? Has Renewable Energy Performed as Expected? Renewable Energy Policy Project, Report No. 7, April 1999.
Technology Specific Notes
Wind technology cost projections represent wind power systems in locations with Class 6 resources. Low wind-speed turbinetechnology is under development, which will make available large amounts of usable wind resources that are closer totransmission. Lower costs will result from design and technology improvements across the spectrum from foundations and towers,to turbine blades, hubs, generators, and electronics.
Biomass cost projections are based on gasification technology. Lower costs will result from technology improvements indicated bycurrent pilot plant operations and evaluation, including improvements in feedstock handling, gas processing/cleanup, and overall
plant design optimization.
Geothermal cost projections are for Flash technology. Cost reductions will result from more efficient and productive resourceexploration and characterization as well as from continued improvements in heat exchangers, fluid-handling technologies, turbines,and generators.
Solar thermal cost projections are for Parabolic Trough and Power Tower Technologies and are based on a detailed due-diligencestudy completed in 2002 at the request of DOE. Cost reductions will result from improved reflectors and lower-cost heliostatdesigns, improved solar thermal receivers, heat exchangers and fluid handling technologies, and turbines and generators, as well asfrom volume manufacturing.
Photovoltaic cost projections are based on increasing penetration of thin-film technology into the building sector. Likelytechnology improvements include higher efficiencies, increased reliability (which can reduce module prices), improvedmanufacturing processes, and lower balance of system costs through technology improvements and volume sales.

These results underscore the pitfalls of wait and see.
Without policy incentives to overcome socioeconomic inertia,
development of needed technologies will likely not occur soon
enough to allow capitalization on a 10-30 TW scale by 2050
Researching, developing, and commercializing carbon-free
primary power technologies capable of 10-30 TW by the mid-21st
century could require efforts, perhaps international, pursued with
the urgency of the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Space
Program.

Ifwe need such large amounts of carbon-free power, then:
current pricing is not the driver for year 2050 primary
energy supply
Hence,
Examine energy potential of various forms of renewable
energy
Examine technologies and costs of various renewables
Examine impact on secondary power infrastructure and
energy utilization

Abundant, Inexpensive Resource Base of Fossil Fuels
Renewables will not play a large role in primary power generatiounless/until:
technological/cost breakthroughs are achieved, or
unpriced externalities are introduced (e.g., environmentally
-driven carbon taxes)
