August 21, 2008 - Inside Renewable Energy - Pickens' Plan and California's Proposition 10; Auctioning Environmental Commodities

T. Boone Pickens has a plan -- but is it the correct plan for the nation? This November, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on an initiative that could be the first step down Pickens'
path toward greater reliance on natural gas for transportation fuel. But this week's guest says that the initiative, known as Proposition 10, is flawed and could negatively impact renewable energy in

T. Boone Pickens has a plan -- but is it the correct plan for the nation? This November, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on an initiative that could be the first step down Pickens'
path toward greater reliance on natural gas for transportation fuel. But this week's guest says that the initiative, known as Proposition 10, is flawed and could negatively impact renewable energy in
California. We'll speak with Tony Rubenstein, a Los Angeles-based consultant on clean technologies and corporate social responsibility, about why Proposition 10 is not good for the state's budget or
its burgeoning renewable energy market. Then we'll talk to Phil Adams, CEO of World Energy, about the role of online auctioning of allowances in greenhouse gas emissions reduction programs. He'll
tell us why he believes the auctioning platform allows for more efficient and transparent transactions over bid-ask exchanges and broker-based models. Finally, correspondent Mark Braly has some
interviews on the promotion of mustard-seed biodiesel for city and regional vehicle fleets in California. Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest in renewable energy news and information.

This November, Californians will be voting on a ballot initiative that could require the state's utilities to generate half their power from renewables by 2025. Sounds good, right? Not according to
some of nation's most influential renewable energy companies, associations and advocacy groups. This group of opponents says the legal language of the proposed law is so flawed, it could severely
hurt the state's renewable energy market. Proponents say the legal language is tight and that opponents are being controlled by the state's utilities, which don't want to meet the targets. As the
voting day approaches, the debate over the language in the initiative is heating up and both sides are pushing their messages aggressively. We'll have a feature report on the different
interpretations of the proposed law and its potential impact on the industry. Also, we'll explore the reasons for China's emergence as one of the top renewable energy markets for investors. Jonathan
Johns, head of renewable energy at the advisory firm Ernst and Young, joins us to discuss the promise of China and the difficulties for renewables in the UK. Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest

This week, we're podcasting from the Geothermal Conference and Expo in Reno, Nevada. Most professionals at the conference would say that the geothermal industry is experiencing a renaissance. Indeed,
as development of conventional resources has increased over the last few years and new technologies have grabbed the attention of financiers and the mainstream press, the industry is finally starting
to get the recognition it deserves. We'll talk with Alexander Richter, Director of Global Research at Glitnir Bank, about some development trends in the U.S. and Iceland. Dan Reicher, Director of
Climate Change and Energy Initiatives at Google.org, tells us about the web-giant's interest in stimulating the market for large-scale Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS). Jared Potter, Co-founder
and CEO of Potter Drilling and Mark Hankowski, VP of Business Development at Potter, describe how the company's advanced drilling technology will eventually allow for cost-effective EGS development.
And lastly, Mike Hayter, Director of Geothermal Development at Raser Technologies, talks about the company's plan to construct smaller-scale, modular geothermal plants that utilize lower temperature
resources. Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest in renewable energy news and information.

This week, we're podcasting from Solar Power International in San Diego, California. Stephen Lacey rounded up some influential industry executives who represent different areas of the supply chain
and asked them about what they're seeing in the industry today. The conversation provides an inside look at what companies are dealing with during these times of rapid and tumultuous growth. Jonathan
Pickering, Vice President of Marketing at Applied Materials talks about the equipment supply side of the industry; Ron Kenedi, Vice President of the Solar Energy Solutions Group at Sharp talks about
the manufacturing space; and Aaron Hall, CEO of Borrego Solar, talks about business for installers in the U.S. This roundtable was initially recorded at the REW.com studio on the floor of Solar Power
International. Stay tuned for the video version of this roundtable next week. In the meantime, you can watch all kinds of video from the conference at our Solar Power Blog. Inside Renewable Energy
