Energy Q&A: how important is it?
   How much kerosene was burned to get      40 gallons per person in the
    me from DC to t e S US ( 500 mile)?
     e o     C the SFUS (2500       e)        plane

   How long does a luggage handler          5 to 8 hours, as he is likely to
    have to load an unload bags before he     use/produce between 125 Watt
    has spent 1 kW of physical energy?        and 200 Watt

   How many labor hours does a gallon       100 to 160 hours, or up to 4
    of Kerosene represent if we assume a      working weeks of physical labor
    50% efficiency?
          ffi i   ?
   How many hours of energy life           Every American has the
    support does the average American        equivalent of 275 employees
    get per year?
      t         ?                             continuously working for
                                              him/her
   What is the average energy efficiency    < 2%
    we reach in modern society?

Small Wind in California


            Here we provide an overview of the
             specific relevance of small wind in
           California and how we can play a role..

Small Wind Potential

    AWEA (2010): the market for small wind energy applications will
     continue to show robust growth for the next decade

    US market is largely being served by US companies (95% share)
     a d t e bulk o t e $83M sales s being done
     and the bu of the $83 in sa es is be g do e by less t a 10

     suppliers

    Global small wind sales in 2009 were close to $200M

    Global small wind market held up very well during the economic
     crises showing robust growth in 2008 and 2009

    Smaller projects are easy to finance locally and have very limited
     stakeholder complexity

Wind Resource is Key to Success in Wind,
 Big
 Bi or small
          ll
 California has been leading US in
  renewable energy portfolio standards,
  programs and projects
 Wind resources are reasonable so you need
  to be resourceful
 Small wind has BIG potential in urban
  environment provided it is based at sites
  with good wind resources
 And you start a program at good, clean
  wind resource sites
 In SF at Treasure Island, Twin Peaks, etc
  before taking over the town, wind-pocket
  by wind-pocket..
