It won't be easy. These are the jobs of the future. At least 15 percent of his planned emissions cuts are slated to come from efficiencies in homes and commercial buildings. To many, it is a religion. Nova Energy, Inc | 22 followers on LinkedIn. Enertronica Santerno signs a new contract for the supply of 39 MW in Vietnam. He wants to slash predicted emissions by 30 percent by 2020, turning the clock back to 1990 levels. NARRATOR: His example has inspired his slightly competitive neighbor to embark on a similar path. NARRATOR: Here's an example of a new opportunity for workers like Rodney Lee, who entered a training program to learn how to install solar panels. I got four kilowatts. A hybrid just makes any engine more efficient. The cars charge up while employees are at work. That is the plug-in, hybrid, electrified vehicle. Because one thing becomes clear when you see what Begley and Nye have done... ED BEGLEY: I just do everything I can, that I can afford, and that's what I do. Another 15 percent will come from changes to how power is generated. And at Google they have a fleet of 10 plug-ins. NARRATOR: But to hit the governor's 2020 targets for emissions reductions, most people will not have to go to these extremes. NARRATOR: But will they be interested if new technologies can bring the cost down? I guarantee you they've got old refrigeration that's using way too much energy. Cost. Well, in some cases, that's somebody's employment. Now it's more critical than ever to distinguish fact from fiction. What's going on now is a huge rebirth in the industry. And the consensus is that if a new car buyer can't make back the increased cost for higher fuel economy in about three years, they're not interested. If the state were to build more of these plants, it would be stuck with these emissions for decades, as well as compromise the further development of renewables. Clearly, Nova is not simply an energy booster but a low-calorie functional energy drink, composed solely from certified organic ingredients without containing any added (coffee based) caffeine and refined sugars, nor artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. Some 70 percent of the efficiency target will be achieved in commercial properties. As a Kiwi business, we aim to be straightforward and easy to deal with, while looking after our customers like neighbours and friends - because they often are. Even after a tax rebate, Bill Nye's cost $32,000. NARRATOR: On NOVA's Energy Web site, follow one of our staff members as she tries to reduce her own energy use. Use one of the services below to sign in to PBS: You've just tried to add this video to My List. To some people they are the most important possession in their life. NARRATOR: The theory is, the more efficient your house, the less power you'll need, and that means less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is a risk. NARRATOR: The result: a solar cell that's nearly as efficient as silicon and a lot cheaper. With Andy Albrecht, Raphael Bousso, Brian Greene, David Gross. We are a utility consultancy company and are ethically driven and customer focused We work with over 20 energy suppliers to get you the best prices MARTIN ROSCHEISEN: This tool produces rolls that are one mile long, and we produce many rolls of those per day. We have people who drive from one end of the mall to the other end. JACOB WOODRUFF (Nanosolar, Inc.) : Here at Nanosolar, we start with a nanoparticle ink. Many people who could not consume other caffeinated products, including coffee and sodas, showed this product to their doctors. NARRATOR: To eliminate the risk of blackouts, as renewable energy increases beyond 20 percent, it will be necessary to come up with a cost-effective technology to store power. Problems Playing Video? Right now, California gets 12 percent of its power from renewables. This past year, the state had half a million foreclosures, lost more than 100,000 jobs and declared a fiscal emergency. You've got extremely low-income people. I have a lab full of scientists that believe in these goals and they want to deliver. Directed by Rushmore DeNooyer. Renewable power generation is the final challenge. Right now a hybrid is at least $5,000 more expensive than an equivalently-sized conventional car. DANIEL KAMMEN: The technologies have evolved dramatically. The most visible renewable energy source is also the most expensive. It's a perfect marriage with solar power, clean wind energy. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: Here's the bottom line. These panels will actually pay for themselves in about seven and a half years. It even takes on cars, in a place where the car is king. And by the year 2010, we are going to make $20 billion. After seven and a half years, we're getting what's essentially free electricity, from these panels. Major funding for NOVA is provided by the David H. Koch Fund for Science, the NOVA Science Trust, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS viewers. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (Speaking to the United Nations) : Do not lose hope. NARRATOR: These electrons are shipped around the state by a complex network of wires and transmission lines known as "the grid." ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (Film clip from The Terminator ) : Hasta la vista, baby. The question is, how much farther can it go? TOM AUSTIN (Sierra Research, Inc.) : Regulators tend to think of automobiles as an appliance. It's plugging into the wall, charging up right now. NARRATOR: For now. So, for the time being, there's a ban on building new reactors in this state, at least until the federal government approves a permanent storage site for nuclear waste. NARRATOR: The nuclear fuel rods sit in water; a fission reaction heats it up; this produces steam, and the steam turns turbines that generate electricity, all without emitting any carbon dioxide. And you can see, this is a finished product. But first, we need you to sign in to PBS using one of the services below. Of all the AB 32 initiatives, reducing CO 2 emissions from cars presents the greatest challenge and, perhaps, the greatest opportunity. However, I am not financially able and neither are many of my neighbors. Now, they’re also bringing you unlimited broadband* and even greater value when you bundle broadband, electricity and natural gas together. Bill Nye, well known as "the Science Guy," spends his free time greening his Studio City home in every way he can. Let's use high-speed rail. California is already moving forward and investing heavily in that direction. It's often cheaper to build big turbines here, than to ship them from overseas. JIM MALKIEWICZ: Let's add these costs up: let's say we're spending $4,000 a month on energy; that's $50,000 a year. This is my rain barrel. Why don't we say, "We can go find the solutions, and, not only that, we can export it to the rest of the world?". Its engine not only powers the car, it charges a battery. MYRA MALKIEWICZ (Wickline Bedding Company) : The state really hasn't talked to a lot of small business owners to find out what this is going to mean to us. She has every incentive to save energy. Nova Energy - Nhà thầu EPC quốc tế với năng lực thiết kế, sản xuất, kinh nghiệm vận hành bởi đội ngũ chuyên gia Santerno SpA hướng đến các dự án năng lượn It's gone across the board. We can make our goal and reach our goal of renewables by the year 2010, easily. There are issues. They feel like it's just an eco-elite agenda for, maybe, the Hollywood crowd. You get a good amount of power in a wind turbine like this. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: I want people to look at nuclear power. You might know Nova Energy as the New Zealand-owned company that provides great value energy to Kiwi families and businesses. But California has lost 400,000 manufacturing jobs in the last eight years, and his critics fear that a clean energy future means more of the same. They say that the people of California will pay a price for his green revolution. JACOB WOODRUFF: This is what you end up with. Nova keep things straightforward and easy to understand, and their team is based right here in New Zealand. 2 likes. Thank you for helping us improve PBS Video. They're down to just three percent. Still, everyone agrees that none of these compare to the challenges the state will face when it comes to the most ambitious of Schwarzenegger's plans, because, here, the governor is taking on the car. In fact, over the last 35 years, as per capita electricity use in the country has soared 50 percent, California has remained flat. And we know that we are creating it. BILL NYE: Now Begley's got a wind turbine! NARRATOR: ...climate experts predict the future may hold even more of these extreme weather events because of an increase in greenhouse gasses, especially CO 2 , emitted when we burn fossil fuels like coal for electricity and gasoline for cars. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (in The Terminator /Film Clip): Trust me. NARRATOR: And the predicted effects of climate change seem especially dire in California: a 50 percent increase in the frequency of drought-induced forest fires; a sharp rise in heat waves and related deaths; millions of acres of coastal land threatened by rising seas; and a steep decline of the Sierra snow pack, the major source of water for California's cities and farms. Check with your doctor if you have any preexisting medical conditions, are pregnant, or are nursing. Before you submit an error, please consult our Troubleshooting Guide. VIJAY VAITHEESWARAN: The concern about rising prices is a legitimate one, but, to me, that's no crisis. NARRATOR: Although they may not pay as much as the old manufacturing jobs, these jobs won't be outsourced. MARLO LEWIS: Energy is the lifeblood of a modern economy, and electricity, in particular, is becoming more important, as we as we move further and further into the information age, the digital economy. That's just one component. I quickly learned, the first year, I was saving money doing this cheap and easy stuff. But could such a cloud over the economy have a silver lining? Hard as it is to swallow, cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. California is the most energy-efficient state in the entire U.S.A. So even if you wanted to build nuclear, you're going to have to change the law. California is mobilizing technologically, financially and politically to fight global climate change. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. And we are making already $10 billion on green clean technology. NARRATOR: He plans to slash California's carbon dioxide emissions in a move that could affect people's jobs, homes, even the cars they drive. And then, progress is made. That's the genius of the green economy: it creates more opportunities than the pollution-based economy, not less, more economic opportunity. CAL WORTHINGTON (The Worthington Dealership Group) : How about a used S.U.V.? Still, solving problems like energy storage and a new transmission infrastructure will require a vast investment of scientific capital. And, of course, the obvious reason is people do have to get around, and that's the only way you can get around. I mean, I get over 45 miles to the gallon, it's a great car. I mean, the most respected scientists have made that clear, by the...thousands of scientists have made that clear. WILLIE MAE PAYNE (Richmond, California Resident) : My energy bills are high. Today, there are over 24 million of them on the road. What's great about that is most Americans only drive 25 miles a day. As a … The Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers. NARRATOR: The plan is bold, laying out a whole new energy landscape, with thousands of new wind turbines, solar panels and green industries. NARRATOR: G.M., Ford, Toyota and other manufacturers have all announced plans to produce these cars of the future. NARRATOR: Another company, California Steel Industries, is investing $70 million to replace this old furnace with a new, more efficient one. But what about the people who can't even afford the minimum improvements? BILL NYE (Science Educator) : Now, this is a hybrid car. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Nanosolar is one of the new "thin film" solar companies. NARRATOR: And left unchecked, no one knows for sure what the ultimate cost of climate change may be. NARRATOR: But there are a lot of people out there who don't believe him. By creating an account, you acknowledge that PBS may share your information with our member stations and our respective service providers, and that you have read and understand the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. VIJAY VAITHEESWARAN: Sure, there'll be some job losses. Schwarzenegger has placed himself and California right in the middle of a debate that is raging across the globe. One of the big issues is that for solar and wind, in particular, they are intermittent. It's a delicate and complex industrial process. DANIEL M. KAMMEN (University of California, Berkeley) : Places like this are just exceptional resources. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: I don't think that the rest of the country has time to wait and to see if we are successful. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: I knew that we should not just look at it as this little place and at only the things that we can contribute, but what power we have to push the country, the United States and the whole world forward. I predict that if we implement AB 32, over the next several years, as the increased energy costs kick in, you will begin to see job flight and capital flight from California. But at the same time, we also must tackle climate change, because not doing anything is also a choice. Just the way you like it. But for solar to be a real player, dozens of plants like this will have to be built in California. Today he's in Richmond, a low-income area between San Francisco and Sacramento. NARRATOR: California: 38 million people live here; it's the most populated state and the eighth largest economy on the planet. NARRATOR: But Schwarzenegger needs to convince Californians to resist the lure of such gas guzzlers, because he plans to achieve the biggest part of his reduction—over 33 percent of his total target—by slashing car emissions. CAROLYN COQUILLETTE (Luscious Garage) : Why don't you come in now, and I'll take a peek at it. But the only thing is, when it comes to building the transmission lines to get it on the grid, no." CHUCK DEVORE: Nuclear power produces the most amount of electricity for the smallest amount of global greenhouse gas emissions of any form of energy. MAN: There was flames 100-foot high, blowing across the road both directions. The glass adds expense but protects the film from the elements. SOLAR RICHMOND TRAINEE: What does that start out with, your hourly wages? I had been out of work for about three months, and I felt, at the time, I needed to get an edge and try to rejoin the workforce. It's creating new jobs by building the furnace on site. I put another thousand watts, and then I put another thousand watts. At Nova Energy our mission is to provide our clients with highly effective energy related inventory management and financial services. I'll check on that, but I think I'm ahead of him, yet again, in this key area...dimmable, dimmable...sorry, Bill. And it's the only thing that's scalable and large enough that you can power modern society on. Bill Nye, I don't think has dimmable compact fluorescents. NARRATOR: And while no one can say for sure global warming is the cause... WOMAN: Just a lot of mud came down the street... a wall of mud. VAN JONES (Green for All) : This is Richmond, California. Additional funding for "The Big Energy Gamble" is provided by the Delacour Family Foundation. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: Let me tell you something. Most scientists say that this extra heat will alter the planet's climate. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: California, even though a little tiny spot on the globe, barely can find it, but the power of influence that we have over the rest of the world is an equivalent of a whole continent. And that's what we are suffering under right now. NARRATOR: There are more hybrids in California than any other state. Thank you. I looked over there, I stopped my car, and I said, "I got to have this car.". La energía solar fotovoltaica consiste en la transformación de energía lumínica proveniente del sol en energía eléctrica. STEVEN CHU: Having these very aggressive goals is actually a very good stimulus. As far as I look at it, I think this is the new dot-com, green jobs. They need power on demand. Of the 24 million cars driven in California, less than two percent of them are hybrids. California has got the biggest chunk of its greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles of any state. To make this possible, there are ambitious plans to put solar panels on a million roofs and on 1,500 acres of commercial buildings. How can we convert the Sun’s light and heat into energy we can use? CHUCK DEVORE: The biggest challenge with AB 32 is that it's physically impossible, unless you lift the state's obsolete 32-year ban on the construction of modern, safe and efficient nuclear power plants. And margins are shrinking: the cost of fuel is going up, the cost of foam is going up. But often, when the sun is not shining, the wind is blowing. We’re a New Zealand owned and operated company, providing great value energy for Kiwi families and businesses. But the bigger risk, I would say, is the risk of inaction in the face of climate change.

We’re a New Zealand owned and operated company, providing great value energy for Kiwi families and businesses. The governor's profound hope is that he is pioneering a plan that the rest of the country, in fact, the whole world, can follow. Well, in California the wind still blows at night. NARRATOR: So great is the fear of the future for Jim and Myra, who have lived in California for decades, that they are contemplating leaving the state. So, here, the governor is acting at his boldest. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: Let's work together with the think tanks, with the universities, with the scientists and everyone. NARRATOR: Whether the promise of the green economy materializes, whether the costs and benefits balance out for most people, there's one important question: in the face of climate change, do we have a choice? These super-sized wind turbines were built in Iowa, by Clipper Windpower, a California-based company. You've got, you know, crime, violence, a lot of economic desperation, you know. NARRATOR: Cal is a true industry legend because he knows exactly what his customers want. Nova Energy. We need science to find carbon-free sources of energy. California is very car-intensive. The problem? NARRATOR: In the Tehachapi, Oak Creek Energy has installed the first of 1,500 new turbines that could replace the capacity of nine coal power plants, if certain problems can be solved. TOM AUSTIN: There've been a lot of studies about what people are willing to pay for higher fuel economy. The more carbon, the more carbon dioxide is released, and coal has the most carbon of any fossil fuel. So you can talk to a local person when you need to talk to Nova. Can global warming be reversed without harming the economy? ED BEGLEY: One of the biggest-bang-for-your buck items you can have is compact fluorescent lighting.
