Efficiency and conservation
- Make 100% of all lighting LED, compact florescent or more efficient systems by 2010.
- Make plug-in hybrid cars the minimum requirement for those that must drive, with a minimum of 100 mpg by 2015.
- Transition city driving to be 50% electric vehicle by 2015.
- Massively increase levels of public transit so that 25 percent of the people currently driving cars switch by 2020.
- Improve existing and new buildings energy efficiency by 50% by 2020
- Improve power plant efficiency by requiring the use of cogeneration (heat and electricity) by 2030.
- Convert all farming to low tillage, organic methods for local consumption by 2015.
Renewables
- Require 100% of all buildings, new and old, to install a solar thermal hot water system and distributed solar PV (photovoltaic) or rooftop wind turbine electricity generating system sufficient to provide a 25 percent energy reduction (reduced hot water heating) and 10 percent of electricity by 2015.
- Build and install in the best possible wind sites 4 million large wind turbines by 2015.
- Create new solar thermal generating plants in desert areas in order to replace 400 coal plants by 2030.
- Recover natural areas through re-forestation and ensure that the Amazon has the resources to restore 25% of what has been destroyed by 2015.
