Energy Facts

The U.S. spends over $500 billion dollars annually on energy.

Oil imports account for 55 percent of total U.S. consumption, up from 42 percent in 1990.

Energy demand is projected to rise by over 30 percent by 2020, much faster than the projected increase in domestic energy production.

U.S. National Energy PolicyKey goals of the recent

U.S. Department of EnergyComprehensive Energy Strategy

include:

Diversify America’s energy supply by: Promoting alternate and renewable sources of energy Encouraging the expansion of nuclear energy in a safe and

secure manner Increasing domestic production of conventional fuels, and Investing in science and technology.

Modernize the electric power infrastructure

Expand strategic petroleum reserves

We are part of the solution!

Our University is uniquely qualified to tackle these critically important technological issues.

Our research areas include all phases of the energy supply and demand system:Transportation and transportation fuelsNuclear energyEnergy production from clean coal, biomass,

unconventional oil and natural gas, wind, and the sun

We are the only University in the United States that has over 90% of its student body majoring in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or business.

We are the only University in the United States that has 16 different engineering bachelor degree programs.

We are the only University in the United States that offers degree programs in Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, Mining Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.

Our students should be leaders in the social,

political, and technological activities associated with

building a sustainable future for the planet.

Proposal

Let’s make our campus green to show our

students, our state, and all of our constituencies what a sustainable future could

look like.

Example Lighting modification project

Financed with a $712,855 low-interest loan from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Energy Revolving Fund– Over 10,000 lighting fixtures in 21 campus buildings– Project a reduction of 2,400,000 kw hours in electric

usage– Annual savings of $220,000– Average saving for each modified fixture is 55% – Savings amount to 6% of campus annual electrical

usage

We must organize our green campus activities:Green minorConservation challengeReduce solid waste and increase recyclables Impose printing quotes on studentsQuantify green researchHydrogen carResidence halls challengeMonitor and record progressEncourage green-focused student organizationsWork with surrounding community

11th – 12th grade studentsJuly 27 – August 1

Things to Do Organize our existing activities regarding

all phases of energy and the environment.

Promote the academic strengths of the Missouri University of Science and Technology in these areas.

Attract financial support to invest in all phases of this sustainability initiative.
