Key/Common Conclusions
1.80% Reduction Below 1990 Levels –Possible/Affordable
2.Best Policy –Price on Carbon (Economy
Wide/Technology Neutral)
3.Transportation –Electrify by 2050
4.Decarbonize Northwest grid -Replace coal with Energy
Efficiency/Renewables/NGas
5.Resource Reliability –Importance of Mix/Dispatchable
Electricity is Regional
