Example: “The Art of Flirting” – a film incorporated as an LLP

The actors received nth’s of gross revenues

31/05/10 17

I got 5%...and the producer the rest

31/05/10 18

But we needed lights, cameras, pizza, coffee

31/05/10 19

Capital Partners invested £ for 20% of the revenues....

Energy subsidies in the Middle East alone cost trillions of dollars

16/06/10 27

Investment in the global transition to renewable energy needs trillions of dollars

How do we make the connection?

Mega Watts: renewables funded by unitising Energy Pool of production.

05/04/10 32

Nega Watt energy savings - the cheapest energy - funded by an Energy Loan in Units

09/03/10 33

Energy Loans made to properties & repaid via utility bills out of energy saved

09/03/10 34

Funded by investors who invest through buying Units in Energy Pools

09/03/10 35

Energy Loan of £5,00050 Units of 1 Megawatt Hour @ £100 per Unit

09/03/10 36

5,000 Units of 10 Kilowatt Hours @ £1.00 per Unit...and so on

09/03/10 37

Reduced energy bill for energy consumed

09/03/10 38

Energy Loan repaid through buying Units from the Pool at the market price

The UK 'Green Deal' – Compound interest and Jevon's Paradox

But how do we transition from a carbon economy?

09/03/10 42

Transition through Gas

09/03/10 43

Carbon Levy - initially on gas - funds Energy Pool investment in renewable Mega Watts

09/03/10 44

…and Green Deal investment in Nega Watts

09/03/10 45

An Energy Dividend is paid in Stock

09/03/10 46

The outcome is that those with above average carbon fuel use ...

….make a net transfer to those with below average use of carbon fuel

“If you want to keep a cow healthy, you don’t regulate what comes out of it……”

“……you regulate what goes in….”

Energy Pools enable Carbon currency based upon the intrinsic value of energy…

..rather than a market in value-less Units of CO2 emissions, imposed by governments

No dollars change hands but transactions are priced against the dollar

The $ may come to be fixed against a unit of energy – an Energy Standard

This brings us to Energy Economics
