1 New Clear Free SOLUTIONS The purpose of New Clear Free Solutions is to: provide energy oversight to the public and official decision makers using objective scientific, regulatory and financial information. The objective of New Clear Free Solutions is to: help ensure safe, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions for the public and environment. IF YOU FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM, YOU CAN T SEE THE SOLUTION. NEVER FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM.

2 Official Decision Makers

3 Public

4 Technical Barriers? NO

5 Public VS Private Investment? Canada s Renewable Energy Resource Are Worth Billions of Dollars per year FOREVER. Significant New Source of Revenue for Provinces with No Fossil Fuel Resources. Revenue Replacement for Provinces that Rely on Fossil Fuel Revenue. MOST IMPORTANT DECISION!!!!!!!!!! Room for Private Operations (Community Energy Projects, ect)

6 Policy Options? 1. Carbon Tax 2. Cap and Trade 3. Regulation/Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) 4. Technology Subsidies 5. Long Term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) 6. Best parts of All of the Above

7 Carbon Tax and Investment Plan (CTIP) 1. Tax Carbon and Publicly Invest In Renewable Energy 2. Reinvest Return on investment (PPA) in Renewable Energy 3. Repeat Until Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is Reached

The concept of reinvesting in environmentally-friendlier energy production and energy efficiency to create a compound interest effect is founded economic theory. As such this policy should be considered by all provinces and not only New Brunswick. $70/MWh Economic Policy 10,000,000 Environment Policy 0 Year Stage 1 95% Electricty Renewable Portfolio Standard Stage 2 100% Rewnewable Energy Renewable Portfolio Standard 2036 $30 Per Ton Accumulated MWH Per Year Including Existing Hydro 2045 $20 Per Ton Accumulated MWH Per Year Inc Existing Hydro 2055 $15 Per Ton Accumulated MWH Per Year Inc Existing Hydro 2056 $30 Per Ton 20% Increase in Capital Cost Accumulated MWH Per Year Inc Existing Hydro 2075 $15 Per Ton 20% Increase in Capital Cost Accumulated MWH Per Year Inc Existing Hydro 2075 $15 Per Ton 20% Decrease in Capital Cost Accumulated MWH Per Year Inc Existing Hydro $15 Per Ton Accumulated MWh Per Year Including Existing Hydro Without ReInvestment

9 Renewable Portfolio Standard

10 Carbon Tax

11 Public Investment The investment portion of the CTIP has two parts, both which are necessary to take advantage of compound interest. The first step creates an investment fund called RenewNB and uses the Carbon Tax as a Public investment into renewable energy. The second is to keep reinvesting the revenue generated from the renewable energy, until the policy objective is reached. The first step creates simple interest, and the second step creates compound interest. The first part of understanding compound interest is that whomever makes the investment is who earns the interest. The two options are public investment or private investment. If the public invests then they earn the interest, and if private industry invests then they will earn the interest. The CTIP uses the carbon tax as a public investment into renewable energy, because it is in the publics interest to do so. This first step will create simple interest.
