I am Andre Sauvageot, Colonel, U.S. Army, 

(retired), living in Reston Virginia. I am a 

Partner of the Interstate Traveler Company, 

LLC, capable of contributing, directly to the 

goals of the EPA "Clean Power Plan. 

No morally acceptable reason to deny 

overwhelming scientific consensus that global 

warming is a grave danger to human health the 

economy and even to life itself. 

I. Near to medium term danger of 

global warming 

A. Economy — Business 

Former treasury secretary, Robert E. Rubin, 

citing a new study, "Risky Business, 

summarized how ignoring climate change could 

sink the U.S. economy. 
By 2050, between $48 and $68 billion worth of 

property in Louisiana and Florida is at great risk 

of flooding because it will be below sea level. 

Bottom line: Viewed from an economic 

perspective, the cost of inaction will greatiy 

exceed costs of moving away from fossil fuels. 

11. Long-term threat - Existential 

Rising sea levels flooding coastal cities in 

many countries may spawn civil wars as 

people move inland and wars between or 

among states in a desperate struggle for 

clean water and other resources. 

A. UN on Climate Change — New Report 

To avoid such horror, the world needs to limit 

global temperature rise to just 2 degrees Celsius 

(3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. 

But, requires large-scale shifts in energy 

production and use. 

For example, greenhouse gas emissions will 

have to drop 40 to 70 percent by 2050 — and 
then drop even more, to nearly zero by the end 

of the century. Emissions grew more quickly 

between 2000 and 2010 than in the previous 3 

decades. Thus, we need huge shifts toward 

renewable, clean energy and public policies to 

make it happen. 

B. Clean Power Plan — Bold + Inadequate 

The President's decision to reduce carbon 

emissions from power plants by 30% from 2005 

levels by 2030 is politically courageous and 

important. It is also inadequate because: (a) It 

will not meet the stringent requirements for 

temperature reduction cited above; (2) The 

United States alone, cannot meet global 

requirement. We need others, especially big 

polluters as China and India to pitch in. But we 

gain more leverage if we lead. 

C. Toward a solution — we can help 

Our Founder/Managing Partner, Justin Sutton, 

has designed a high speed, maglev, solar 

powered, hydrogen-fueled high-speed transport, 

dubbed "HyRail" with great potential for the 

future. However, at this hearing today, I want to 
leave aside that longer term project and focus 

on how we can help EPA implement the "Clean 

Power Plan" beginning almost today! 

We are in discussions with one of the largest 

power plant company's in the U.S. This 

company has assigned one of their high 

level executives to discuss our concept for 

turning turbines with clean, safe, green 

renewable produced hydrogen. 

We need a contact at EPA to bounce some 

thoughts off of. AND quickly as this could 

become a worldwide clean air game changer 

to potentially replace coal and natural gas 

with safe green, renewable energy across 

our great land.
