Geothermal Potential The Earth has 3 PWh of energy potential, That's 10 to the 15th power. This makes it a massive yet finite source.
The Pacific Northwest has the potential to generate 137,000 MWh of electricity which is four times the demand for that region. Since 2001 wind generating capacity has expanded at a rate of 49% per year
There are 30,9000 MWh worth of photo voltaics currently installed in the Pacific NW
The Pacific NW receives more solar energy per acre than Germany which is the world’s leader in solar power production

There is currently only one Tidal energy power plant in the world.
The Pacific Northwest has the potential to generate more than 2,600 MWh of electricity from geothermal power which is enough to meet the annual needs of almost 2 million US households.
a 5 MW wind turbine can produce 15 million KWh of energy per year, enough to power more than 1,400 households
Solar energy is becoming 3-5% cheaper every year
33 Thousand to 1.3 Million Charges per hour 840 Thousand to 6.4 Million US Households per Year
Tidal energy harvesting can achieve 80% efficiency.
Geothermal energy can be produced at a cost of 4.5 to 7.3 cents per kilowatt making it Competitive with fossil fuel in terms of profit potential.

Although there is little to no visual impact from Tidal Energy, it could potentially effect marine ecosystems in a negative way if not carefully sited.
Although this technology functions best in particular locations there is the potential for low heat geothermal power in most areas.

There is enough available solar energy in the Pacific Northwest to meet all energy demands for the region for the foreseeable future
2050
Although still a developing technology there are solar panels which have reached 86% efficiency
The Pacific NW has the capacity to produce 2,110 TWh of energy from tidal resources which is half of the national demand.

E Station
This station located on the I5 highway corridor and consequently is seen by many people everyday, thus there is an opportunity both functionally to recharge cars and produce energy and symbolically as a forward thinking entity where people can go the relax and learn. The Purpose of this station is to offset the carbon emissions created through the production of energy required by electric vehicles via renewable sources. In doing so an icon is created, one which embodies progressive problem solving and sustainable technology. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main features include a huge solar array, a wind harvesting park, geothermal heating, a large storage capacity, and a sustainable showcase and learning center.

40 minutes per change One of the major challenges that the implementation of electric cars faces is the fact that they currently take 40 minutes to change and have a range of about 150 miles per charge. This station is located at a critical stop between Portland and Eugene where an electric car would have to recharge in order to reach one of these major cities. Because of this fact the station would need to have a large capacity and a wide variety of activities to entertain the users while their car charges some of these types of activities are portrayed in this brainstorm collage, they include: Shopping Relaxing Recreation Learning Giving Business Eating Exercise With these 40 minutes there is a large opportunity to market ideas and products. It could also result in an individual devoting 40 minutes of there time daily, weekly, or monthly to a cause such as better physical health, mental learning, or relaxing. Perhaps being forced to take 40 minutes and give it to yourself periodically could be a large benefit.
