24 Solutions for a Global Water Shortage Researchers have created a membrane that reduces the cost of turning today s seawater into tomorrow s drinking water Only 2.5% of available water is freshwater WHO: 50% of world population facing water shortages by 2025 UN: by 2025, global demand for clean water will increase: + 20% for agriculture + 50% for industry + 80% for domestic consumption

25 Hydrogen Storage for Clean Energy Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute have created methods to store the equivalent of large room full of Hydrogen into the gas tank of a small automobile.

26 Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, technology is being developed to capture and safely store carbon dioxide released from power plants and automobile tailpipes before it reaches the atmosphere. New materials are also being developed to safely store carbon dioxide below the earth s surface.

27 Plastic Solar Cells Researchers have developed new plastic solar cells which are ready for some portable electronics. In the future these solar cells will be found everywhere, including building windows, house paints, and draperies to soak up solar power.

28 California s Progressive Energy Policy Under Governor Gray Davis (Ret.) Demonstrating Bold Leadership, Governor Davis: Signed America's first law to address our greatest environmental threat of the 21st century -- Global Warming. Signed into law the Nation s largest Renewable Resources Portfolio Standard. Established the Climate Action Registry. Signed into law an $850-million set of energy conservation and efficiency programs, the largest in CA history. Made the FLEX YOUR POWER campaign a household mission, where all Californians became incentivised to save energy, resulting in 1,468 MW of power savings in 2002 alone.
