Global Leadership in Energy Transition will be the critical
component of overall Global Leadership for this century.
Without Rapid Energy Transition, the world faces unprecedented
global crisis that may end civilization as we know it.
In the next 20 years:
Energy Transition
is a $80 -$120

USA Historic Trade Dynamics withCanada, OPEC, China & India
Reference: EXIM Bank (Dec 2010 is estimated by invVEST)
in 25 years from 1985 to 2010Imports from China to USA grew 95 timeswhile imports to China grew only 23 timescreating huge trade imbalance issues.With GDP based on PPP ($15 Trillion) crossing USA by 2012Will China become the dominant Superpower by 2030??
Trade with India has been historically lowAs India opens up its ecomonies and addressesits infrastructure issues, to grow at the aspired9- 10% per year for the next two decadesIndia will potentailly become the third largest economyby 2025. Countries & entities that understand the Indian economic needscan significantly grow their trade with India.
Canda is the largest trading partner with USAalthough China became the largest importer to USA by 2008.
OPEC imports are dominated by Oilwhen Oil spiked in 2008, OPEC imports jumped to $240BUSA is venerable to Oil dependencies, so is India (even more so)and China. If China & India follow USA model as they develop,increased Oil demand will put upwards pressure on Oil prices.

Some New Paradigms to Consider:
If Energy is clean, economical & abundantly available,
we will use energy in ways we have never imagined before and
energy usage & markets will grow exponentially.
India‟s lack of Fossil Based Energy Infrastructure compared to Developed Countries
& China gives India a serious advantage to disruptively transition to Clean
Sustainable Self Reliant Energy. India needs to seize the moment.
The 800 million plus Rural and Urban poor in India who have no or limited energy
access adopt energy efficient usage instead of mimicking developed country
(especially USA) extravagant energy usage patterns.
When the Market Matures the focus rightly should be
on getting a larger share of the pie
When the market is emerging, the focus should be on making the pie exponentially
bigger. Multi-disciplinary collaborations are key enablers
“Coopetition”: Brandenburg & Nalebuff
India Transformed Telecom with disruptive change
Can we do the same with Sustainable Energy Transition?
The Situation Analysis produces many analogies….

TELECOMMUNICATIONS TRANSITION SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TRANSITION
20 YEARS AGO 20 YEARS FROM NOW
In 1990, land line based telecommunications was under sever stress In 2010, fossil fuel based energy is under severe stress
Phone connections were overloaded, less than 50% made connections.
Today, thanks to cell phones, connections are taken for granted, leading to
exponential improvement in connectivity & productivity.
Energy systems overloaded, 10 -15% shortfalls, rolling blackouts/brownouts.
Can we transition to abundant sustainable energy systems that can be clean
and available on demand by 2030? Imagine what it can do to productivity.
There were almost no phone connections in the rural areas. Today cell phones
are ubiquitous. India has 400 M+ cell phones that are growing at the rate of
8M+ a month because they are affordable even to the rural and urban poor.
Rural India in many areas still do not have basic power connections. Families
use chulas that cause serious health problems leading to death. Women &
children spend increasing time collecting firewood and cow dung, main cause
for illiteracy and low potential for earning a living.
Cost of owning a phone & long distance costs were very high. Today with a
portfolio of choices and competition, ownership costs are low and long distance
costs are low and even free (Skype, Google). Choice, technology & scaling
brought prices down exponentially.
Energy costs are out of reach for most rural and urban poor. Like cell phones
when they first came out, solar energy costs are high, but can be brought down
exponentially with a comprehensive scaling & technology strategies. Can
energy become ubiquitous for all?
India's phone systems were ancient to aging. Today, India's cell phone
technologies(at least on the application side, we are lagging in manufacturing)
are the best in the world, and our rural adaptations are unique innovations
customized for India.
The Energy infrastructure is ancient and aging, and cannot be extended without
a major overhaul. Can we adapt sustainable energy technologies that are
innovated in India and/or customized for India's specific needs?
Transitioning to cell phones bypassed the last mile issue that lead to explosive
growth.
Can we plan for off grid energy applications and possibly avoid the last mile
issues? Unlike cell phones, which had very little dependencies, issues may be
more complex here. Create model 2020 vision urban & rural sustainable
energy communities. Learn, improve & replicate enmass.
In 1990, less than 5% of the households were connected by phones. Lack of
existing infrastructure actually turned out to be a huge plus as India & its
companies did not have to fight the battle to replace existing services, contracts,
infrastructure. This was the single biggest reason for explosive growth.
India's lack of fossil fuel based energy infrastructure compared to developed
countries and even China may turn out to be the single largest enabler to
transition to new sustainable energy paradigm.
Land telephone lines were an eyesore, messy and were prone to illegal
tapping, and was a maintenance nightmare. Cell phones bypassed all these
issues.
Fossil based Energy as we know today, is considered a dirty word and is
harmful to the environment. Clean Sustainable Energy, locally available
abundantly, can be used in ways we have not imagined before.
in 1990, Telecommunications was totally govt.controlled and not open to local
and global competition. Global competition improved quality brought prices
down and scaling increased market size dramatically.
Energy is still primarily in Govt. control. Private and global competition will bring
the best technologies, and like before, Indian innovativeness and enterprise will
find ways to provide the best at the lowest costs.
Telecom & IT Industry transformation have generated hundreds of
Billion dollars in revenue stream and employs 10's of million people.
Transition to clean sustainable Energy will generate 4 Trillion in
revenues and provide means for employing 100's of million people.
Today, Telecommunications is one of the most vibrant industry in India.
One can make a similar case for information technology services. Both
initiatives will be key components of a successful energy transition to
clean sustainable self reliant energy for India.
Energy is the lifeblood for growing India's future economy. Massive
Scaling of SEI (Sustainable Energy Initiatives) that lead to clean,
ubiquitous and economically viable energy solutions can transform
India into a bonafide global powerhouse and dramatically improve the
quality of life for the masses.
CAN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DISRUPTIVELY TRANSITION IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS FOR INDIA

Enable Global Leadership through Massive Scaling of SEI*.
invVEST** is structured as nonprofit technology neutral apolitical organization
that promotes Sustainable Energy Initiatives(SEI)
by creating a strong network of Virtual Collaborative Teams.
* Sustainable Energy Initiatives.
** invVEST stands for: invest in Energy that‟s Sustainable
through Virtual collaborative Teams
USA & India must generate at least 35% of it‟s energy from SEI by 2030:
For USA to retain global leadership and maintain sustainable growth,
For enabling India to grow sustainably & become a legitimate global leader.

invVEST Unique Differentiator: Defining Strength of SEI Index: (Sustainability Energy Initiatives) SEIMPAT: (SEI Matrix Portfolio Assessment Tool) Uses 6 criteria to measure & index the strength of each SEI.The index of 0 means worst, 10 means best. For a more detailed assessment, please contact invVEST.
If the energy source does not have high scores on each these six criteria,
it may not qualify for SEI, but it may still be a renewable energy source,
or may qualify as a bridge energy source.
