5 Energy Cost Affect Families Differently Half of U.S. households paid 20% or more of their aftertax incomes on energy in Poor and working families those with incomes less than $30,000 - paid nearly one-quarter of their aftertax income on energy in Government subsidies increase as price of energy increases. It is imperative that we maintain a low energy cost not just for business and industry but for American Families Us DOE and US Census data 9 Coal, Natural Gas, & Renewables as Sources of Indiana Electricity Supplies Capacity vs. Generation Indiana Electric Generation Capacity Indiana Electricity Production: Coal 70.7% NG 21.5% Wind.7% Petro.2% Natural Gas 2.6% 19,757mw 6,003 mw Petro 1.8% 503mw Renewables 6.0% 1,686mw Coal 96.5% WIND 6,000 MW Unclassified Wind Not reliable enough to be included Least cost dispatch 10 5

10 What does the EPA say about CO2 in their Findings This document itself does not convey any judgment or conclusion regarding the question of whether GHGs may be reasonably anticipated to endanger public health and welfare, as this decision is ultimately left to the judgment of the administrator. Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. EPA December 7, 2009 Page ES-1 The document does not contain any data or scientific findings that can justify the control of CO2, but that is not necessary to have: Administrator need only use her JUDGEMENT. USA CO2 Policy is to be based on the JUDGEMENT of ONE PERSON, Not FACT or Science. This statement was removed after first printing of report 19 Who says this administration is not creating Jobs? While EPA acknowledges that come 2016, the administrative burdens may still be so great that compliance may still be absurd or impossible to administer at that time, that does not mean that the Agency is not moving toward the statutory thresholds, the EPA wrote in a September 16 court briefing. If the EPA wins its court battle and fully rolls out the greenhouse gas regulations, the number of businesses forced into this regulatory regime would grow tremendously from approximately 14,000 now to as many as 6.1 million. Hiring the 230,000 full-time employees necessary to produce the 1.4 billion work hours* required to address the actual increase in permitting functions would result in an increase in Title V administration costs of $21 billion per year, the EPA wrote in the court brief. ($91,300 per employee a year for 3 years to complete the work) (1.4 billion work hours will actually require 673,076 employees to hours per person per year, and 229 hours per business per year) 20 10

11 Reduce CO2 by 80% from its 1990 levels by 2050 Obama campaign pledge If we convert all of the coal, oil and gas electric power units to nuclear: If we eliminate Nat Gas for home heating, commercial use and for industrial processes and substitute nuclear electric: If we remove all 230 million gasoline and diesel engines and replace them with pure electric motors plugged into nuclear power sources: we still would not reduce manmade CO2 by 80%. To do the above would require the building of 800+ nuclear plants, 24 in Indiana alone, by 2050, at a cost of $12 Trillion + Pay $220 / month per household every month for next 40 years over the current level of payment. Human energy consumption drops from 10KW to 2 KW per capita roughly 1840 levels of energy consumption. 21 Energy Efficiency PC (unscrubbed) vs. IGCC Unscrubbed PC IGCC % chg Online Mw % BTU/KWH % Efficiency 23.4% 38.5% 64.5% SO lb/ MMbtu % NOx % PM % Hg * % Tons of Coal 152,959 (2007) 1,800,000 Onsite Jobs Coal Mining Jobs Ancillary Jobs More jobs are created from coal production than from the operation of the facility * 1 pound of mercury for every 420,596,000 pounds of coal 11

12 Future Demand by Fuel Next 20 years Coal remains the Primary fuel 2024 NG levels out while coal continues to rise 2010 shale gas is 12% of the Natural gas supply, by 2024 it will need to be 60% 23 US Sources Of NATURAL GAS 3.5 Times as much gas from shale in next 20 years. 33% reduction Standard sources 24 12

13 Fracking Taxes paid: $26,958 per oil/gas Job, average worker $107,000 All other industries $ 4,769 per Job, average worker $ 44, workers per well 25 New Albany Shale has 86 Trillion cubic feet of gas 95 Quads of Energy Indiana uses Trillion BTUs of Natural Gas per year (.555 Quads) Indiana consumes Quads of energy per year Potentially a major supplier of Shale gas in the US EIA states that Natural Gas cost will be level for the next 20 years. It also says that Shale gas will constitute 45% of the gas consumed in Shale gas will cost more than Natural Gas, overall gas price will increase. We will need to drill thousands of new shale wells, to replace NG sites, None of which have been approved by this administration. (you need to read the footnotes) 26 13

15 Coal Technology Projects in Indiana Indiana coal to coke Purdue University, Calumet Recovering Coal slurry for fuel Crawfordsville, IN Coal Corridor Medaryville, IN Clean Coal Refining Coal to liquids Newport, IN Oxy Fuel Combustion Merom, IN Indiana Center for Advanced Energy Technology Vincennes University Underground Coal Gasification Gibson County IN Biomass / Coal blends for utility fuel Washington, IN Waste to energy Microgrid Crane, IN Direct Coal to Liquids, Warrick County Indiana Coal Gasification Rockport, IN 29 Indiana coal projects 1. Indiana Coal to Coke, Purdue Calumet, starting 3 rd year of CCTR funding of the project, which is now in the small scale test mode, gathering Steel Industry support. If all goes well should have a full scale coking unit in 2-3 years. Potential of 6 million tons of Indiana coal a year. 2. Fuelstreaming has purchased the Crawfordsville municipal power plant and will be upgrading the boilers to include a gasifier to burn a pellet created from the coal slurry and gob waste from an abandoned mine in southern Indiana. Potential is 1 million tons of recovered fuel a year, fully operational in 2 years. CCTR is working with the group to help with the technology to recover the coal slurry and convert it to a useful fuel 3. Clean Coal Refining will be taking 1500 acres from the Newport Munitions Depot to build a coal to liquids plant producing 10,000 barrels a day. Currently CCTR is working with them to secure funding for the Pre FEED portion of the project. This will be able to use coal, MSW or petcoke as a feedstock. If funded fully operational in 36 months. 4. OXY-Fuel Combustion technology is based on a study done at Purdue Lafayette funded by CCTR. This technology will use pure Oxygen instead of air in the combustion process. This will greatly reduce emissions and enable older smaller scale power units to keep producing power under the EPA rules. The technology is currently under consideration by Hoosier Energy for use in the Frank Ratts plant. 5. Indiana Center for Advanced Energy Technology (ICAET) will be based at Vincennes University and focus on apply the technologies developed by CCTR to retrofitting on existing power units. ICAET will work with the coal industry to develop and train the new wave of coal miner that will be needed especially as we move to more underground mining. The center is also working on a new technology that will use coal ash from power plants to build pillar systems in deep mines in order to increase the coverable coal from 45% of the resource to up to 90% per mine. CCTR is working with ICAET to secure Federal funding

16 Indiana coal projects, 6 Indiana Coal Corridor is an extension of a CCTR study on rail systems in Indiana. CCTR is working with coal companies, power plants and rail system to find the least cost and best means of moving Indiana coal north to Schahfer power plant (potential 4 million tons per year) and on to Burns Harbor where it is estimated that Europe will need 600 million tons of coal a year as the nuclear industry shuts down. This track will also connect to the Illianna Express rail plan when and if Illinois ever gets around to building it. Our goal construction in 12 months. Potentially in the short run the corridor would enable coal companies to expand their markets by 4 million tons a year with a long term potential of over 100 million tons of year over the next decade. 7. Biomass /Coal blends as power plant fuel will use the waste biomass, in this case primarily wood waste from the furniture industry to make a fuel for power plants. The advantage will be the use of the now wasted wood residue and to allow more use of older plant in that the new fuel will have a significant emission reduction. The company has already ordered 1.2 million tons of coal to be delivered over the next year and plans to ship the fuel to Europe via Mt Vernon and out of New Orleans. Currently CCTR is working on placing the fuel in the small scale Eagle Valley power plant in Martinsville and possible in IPL s Stout plant on the south side of Marion County. The company sees a big potential for the fuel if it could be shipped out of Burns Harbor rather than New Orleans. 8. Nu Steel is proposing a coal to liquids plant for Warrick County, not Rockport as originally proposed. The plant will use Indiana coal and produce 10,000 Barrels /day 4 million tons of coal a year. Countrymark is already shown interest in purchasing the raw fuel. CCTR is helping them with finding funding for the project 9. Rockport Power Plant is n need extensive retrofitting for their power plants to meet new EPA standards. CCTR introduced to I&M the possibility of using one of the 1300 MW units and convert it to a steel making operation which would produce 1200 MW of power for sell to I&M. The use of this method would be a less expensive way of producing the amount of power I&M needs without the emissions. This meeting just took place on Tuesday August 9 and there fore was not put on the original map. 6 million tons of coal and a 36 month construction period if I&M decided to proceed. 10. Indiana Gasification Inc. coal to gas plant is still being discussed for Rockport. CCTR is not working with them and is not sure what their current status is. 31 Coal Wind Hybrid Configuration 100 Mw Wind + 50 Mw Gas turbines = 60 Mw constant power 100 Mw wind will generate on average 27 mw of power Annually by itself. If you LOVE Wind Power, You had Better Like Transmission Lines, and gasification plants
