Designing Cities for People 11. Raising Energy Efficiency 12. Turning to Renewable EnergyIII. AN EXCITING NEW OPTION 13. The Great Mobilization

4. Preface Mobilizing to save civilization Failing states early sign of failing civilization Peak Oil Grain now pegged to the price of oil Grain production now falling below world use Peak Everything 2030 China will be consuming twice todays world Throw away society won’t work anymore

5. The challenge of our generation is a renewable economy Powered largely by renewable sources of energy Has a highly diversified transport system reuses and recycles everything. And to do it with unprecedented speed.

6. Four Overriding Goals in Plan B 3.0 Stabilizing climate Stabilizing population Eradicating poverty Restoring the earth's ecosystems

7. Heart of the climate-stabilizing initiative Cut carbon dioxide emissions 80 percent by 2020 Raising energy efficiency developing renewable sources of energy expanding the earth's forest cover both by banning deforestation planting billions of trees to sequester carbon

8. Can we phase out coal-fired power plants before the melting of the Greenland ice sheet becomes irreversible? Can we gather the political will to halt deforestation in the Amazon before its growing vulnerability to fire takes it to the point of no return? Can we help countries stabilize population before they become failing states? We are in a race between tipping points in nature and our political systems

9. We have the technologies to restructure the world energy economy and stabilize climate. The challenge now is to build the political will to do so. To not use extreme measures in the face of extreme danger is insane, sub-human. Start Loving.

10. The challenge of our generation is a renewable economy We all depend on the same grain, same resources Reuse and Recycle Everything Plan A is destroying the economic supports

11. Plan B 3.0 Stabilizing Climate Stabilizing Population Eradicating Poverty Restoring Eco Systems

12. Cut carbon dioxide by 80% by 2020

13. Climate Initiative Raise efficiency Renewable energy Restore forests

14. Race between tipping points Phasing out coal plants or do glaciers melt first Can we raise the political will in time Can we stabilize population before too late

15. Slight hope – Citizens are stopping US coal plants Needs to expand Needs to phase out existing plants

16. Wind power Scale is expanding Texas is leading the wind farm expansions 23 coal plants equivalent Plug in hybrids now coming to markets We have the technology We need to raise the will

17. If you don’t study, learn, and spread Plan B 3.0… Why?
