### 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 — andthen 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.
