So more than doubles. The International Panel on Climate Change has actually put more emphasis in this. If youre trying to hit a 550 target and you take ccs off the table, the cost goes up about 50 or really goes up between sort of 30 and 80 for 550. If you want to hit a 450 target the cost triples. Goes up between 200 and 400 . Thats a lot of money, and its just because in some markets coal with ccs is the cheap option. Not everywhere, maybe not in california, maybe not in arizona, but in a whole bunch of markets, in a whole bunch of places in the country and around the world, ccs with coal is the cheapest option for deep abatement, and if you get rid of that cheapest option, you have to replace it with something more costly or less efficient. The good news is weve made a lot of progress on this. This slide is actually a little old, but basically the lower two bars are stuff thats built and operating or will be operating soon because its being built. So right now were here at 2015, we

I think its completely crazy were doing substantive work on the 17th of december. I cant imagine were holding real conferences here right the week before christmas, but we are, but thats because theres so much to talk about, and im so glad to have you all come. Thank you, thank you all for being here. My name is john hamre, im the president at csis. I wanted to say special thanks to Julio Friedmann who is a friend. We have known each other for many years. Hes fortunately in town serving in government more directly. Hes a government guy, hes out at Lawrence Livermore labs but were so pleased he can be here leading at a crucial time when we need to be thinking through a lot of important issues. For a very strange reason, recently i have been doing some personal reading on the history of philosophy, and i was recently reading about Thomas Robert maltous, a british cleric who in the early 18th century who was a very provocative philosopher because he had very dark views about the future of
Covert path is in question and more challenging. And while the framework argument spells out an extensive and intrusive inspection regime over the entire supply chain for Irans Nuclear program, there still will be concerns that iran would cheat and break out toward a new bomb, toward a bomb. But given all the various restrictions and inspections that are in place throughout the supply chain, iran would have to cheat in more than one way and not get caught. So my question is, can you talk about all the ways that iran would have to cheat in order to get around the terms of the agreement and set up a secret Uranium Enrichment Program . Sure. Thats a big question. Can you answer it in the five remaining . Right. But i think youve already put your finger on it in the sense that the transparency and verification elements that will be put in place in an agreement first of all, are unmatched to those in any other situation. In terms of their comprehensiveness and intrusiveness. But specificall
