Energy Facts

The U.S. spends over $500 billion dollars
annually on energy.

Oil imports account for 55 percent of total
U.S. consumption, up from 42 percent in
1990.

Energy demand is projected to rise by over
30 percent by 2020, much faster than the
projected increase in domestic energy
production.
U.S. National Energy Policy
Key goals of the recent
U.S. Department of Energy
Comprehensive Energy Strategy
include:

Diversify America’s energy supply by:
 Promoting alternate and renewable sources of energy
 Encouraging the expansion of nuclear energy in a safe and
secure manner
 Increasing domestic production of conventional fuels, and
 Investing in science and technology.

Modernize the electric power infrastructure

Expand strategic petroleum reserves
We are part of
the solution!

Our University is uniquely qualified to
tackle these critically important
technological issues.

Our research areas include all phases of
the energy supply and demand system:
 Transportation and transportation fuels
 Nuclear energy
 Energy production from clean coal, biomass,
unconventional oil and natural gas, wind, and the sun

We are the only University in the United States
that has over 90% of its student body majoring in
engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or
business.

We are the only University in the United States
that has 16 different engineering bachelor degree
programs.

We are the only University in the United States
that offers degree programs in Environmental
Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology
and Geophysics, Mining Engineering, Nuclear
Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.

Our students should be
leaders in the social,
political, and technological
activities associated with
building a sustainable
future for the planet.
Proposal
Let’s make our campus
green to show our
students, our state, and all
of our constituencies what
a sustainable future could
look like.
Example

Lighting modification project
Financed with a $712,855 low-interest loan from
the Missouri Department of Natural Resources
Energy Revolving Fund
– Over 10,000 lighting fixtures in 21 campus buildings
– Project a reduction of 2,400,000 kw hours in electric
usage
– Annual savings of $220,000
– Average saving for each modified fixture is 55%
– Savings amount to 6% of campus annual electrical
usage

We must organize our green campus
activities:
 Green minor
 Conservation challenge
 Reduce solid waste and increase recyclables
 Impose printing quotes on students
 Quantify green research
 Hydrogen car
 Residence halls challenge
 Monitor and record progress
 Encourage green-focused student organizations
 Work with surrounding community
11th – 12th grade students
July 27 – August 1
Things to Do

Organize our existing activities regarding
all phases of energy and the environment.

Promote the academic strengths of the
Missouri University of Science and
Technology in these areas.

Attract financial support to invest in all
phases of this sustainability initiative.
