1, Energy efficiency programs will take into account the riddle of Jorvan's Paradox which states that increasing the efficiency of consumption simply attracts more consumers, thereby accelerating consumption of a resource, with the added realization that the only solution to the riddle is to realize the much greater potential for affecting efficiency gains on the supply side of the energy equation.

2.Climate change negotiators will reach an agreement that is based not on reducing greenhouse gases, but on controlling all uncontrolled emissions, whereby the definition of clean technology is expanded to include any technology which does not result in uncontrolled emissions of ghg's.

3.Renewable portfolios and renewable energy credits will lose value due to competition from a ghg control technology that can be cost-effectively applied to all fuels. By any measure, it is a false proposition to purue cap and trade without the availabilty of such control technolgy.

4.Energy storage, not renewable energy, is where the money is going to go and wind energy stocks will only come back when these are tied into storage plant operations.

5. VC will migrate to financinging development of merchant pumped storage hydro plants that also function as municipal waste disposal facilities and which are further equipped with carbon capture and storage technology, as well as to electrolytically produce liquid hydrogen a portion of recycled wastewater for subsequent use in hydrogen-internal combustion engine vehicles (HICE).

6.The success rate of cleantech startups will double due to implementing cluster development around pumped storage hydro facilities.

7.IT opportunity in the energy industries will greatly increase due to increased use of carbon-rich fuels in the supply chain from central power plants equipped to control ghg's.

8 Seawater will be employed to compress ghg's for capture, recycle and/or storage in pumped hydro plants that are base loaded with renewables and with carbon-controlled fossil fuels
