7 Our Energy Future Must Contain Many Different Components We will need many demand and supply side options there is no silver bullet Energy efficiency will be very important the energy we don t consume is the cheapest resource Renewable/Clean energy options have been and will continue to be driven by government policy

8 Trends in Renewable Energy Consumption in US Indiana State Utility Forecasting Group, Dec. 2009
