Air Pollution’s Impact on HealthFocus: North Carolina
• EPA studies show:
– 1/3 to 1/2 asthma in NC due to air pollution– Every summer in NC, air pollution causes an extra
240,000 asthma attacks, 6,300 emergency room visits, and 1,900 hospital admissions

State Fleet Efficiency
• State agencies must displace 20% of their petroleum use in vehicles by 12/09
• Status– Have achieved about 7% displacement – Strategies will include hybrids, E10, B20, E85,
CNG and Propane.– 75% of new state fleet are alternative fuel vehicles– NCDOT now sells only E10 and B20– 6,000 alternative fuel vehicles in state fleet

Renewable Energy Sources• Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Portfolio Standard (REPS): NC IOUs must get 12.5% of electricity from RE sources by 2021. Up to 5% can be from EE http://www.ncuc.commerce.state.nc.us/reps/reps.htm
• Rule-making is underway, the REPS will be effective 1/1/08
• RFPs for RE from Progress, Duke, Dominion, and NC EMC have already been issued

North Carolina
• Can cut energy use by 14% by 2017
• Can achieve an REPS of 20% from renewable energy-energy efficiency by 2017
• Can move 10% of its transportation needs to alternative fuels (e.g. ethanol, biodiesel,) by 2017
• Must plan now for impacts of sea level rise
The Future is Now!!
