since 2000 

• Was the first investor-owned utility to adopt a voluntary cap o

emissions, now stated as 20% below 2000 levels through 2020 

• Significant emissions reductions between 2000 and 2005 due t

commitment (19.6% reduction in the Utility from 2000-2005; 4

company as a whole); reductions have continued over the year

slower pace 

• Singled out by Administrator McCarty during the announceme

111(d) proposed rule as one of three leaders in taking early act

• Only U.S. electric utility in its sector named to the Dow Jones S

• $345 million in annual fuel savings, 

• 3.7 million metric tons COiyr avoided 

• 455 MWs of nuclear uprates since 2001 

maintaining and expanding nuclear production saves SO million metric ton

• $304 million in Combined Heat and Power 

Reduced fuel usage and avoided line losses resulting in 925,000 metric ton

• TX- 100% 

• Entergy Utility fleet total- 68% 

• See Entergy comments, p. 13 and n.16. 
Renewables 

• Much less realistic resource than the rule • As an example, Arkansas and Louisiana co

have about 1% of the available windy land 

region's benchmark State, Kansas. 

• NREL estimates of potential wind resource 

30% or more capacity factor: 

- Kansas -over 950,000 MW 

-Arkansas- approximately 9000 MW 

- Louisiana- approximately 410 MW 
Energy Efficiency 

• EPA's estimates of available energy efficiency gains, a

costs, are extremely optimistic. 

• "While EPA's estimates may be achievable theoretica

cost for this level of EE/DSM would be cost prohibitiv

experience garnered from Texas and Arkansas indica

the "low hanging fruit" of efficiency measures have a

been captured. Additional EE/DSM "harvests" are ex

to come at a much higher cost. For each additional K

saved, the costs per KWh for these savings are increa
