2009, National Academy of Sciences Study Impact of fossil fuel on healthcare system:
$120B per year
Coal and Oil:– $60B each in health impacts– 30,100 premature deaths annually– Over 5,000,000 workdays lost
Not included: environmental damage from coal mining, pollution of rivers from coal plant
smokestacks to keep the air clean.
Energy uses more water than agriculture--more water than cities or ourselves.--Energy responsible for 50% of US water withdrawals
What we believe
Global scarcity in natural resources
Transformations have begun resource extraction, use and disposal (or re-use)
Investors are over-exposed to the risks with these trends, and under-exposed to the opportunities
Solutions to these risks represent “the largest wealth creation opportunity of our lifetime” 8

Solar PV: Why we are winning$100B business in 2013
• Passionate Industry
• Activated Local Advocates
• Know how to sell small systems – avg size in 2013 in USA is 33kW
• Policymakers can smell grid parity
20% of global electricity is now more cost effective with Solar PV
Capital: 9% returns
Regulation: Diversification;Reliability
Innovation: Distributed Solar PV
Market: Fast Rising Electricity Costs
40,000 MW additional projects by 2017- 1,000,000 projects average 50kW each- $100B investment, $1B in commissions- We are short sales and business development
Who actually invests in this stuff?We are on track for $5T by 2020 and now we need another $5T into climate wealth solutions to win.
