Public Lead - 9742467 - Looking for a voice for a business presentation
9742467
Hello and thank you for taking the time to audition. The project will be for a Multimedia kiosk. The kiosk deals with America's and the world's energy choices. This is primarily a teaching tool designed to make people think about the energy they use in all facets of their life. This posting will remain up for one week before final talent selection takes place. Good luck and thanks for responding.

1. So what does the future hold? That depends greatly on us. There is no question the age of petroleum, the fuel that drives the economies of industrialized nations to greatness, will not last forever. Will we continue to explore for and pump oil until it’s all gone or will we abandon it in favor of alternative sources for use in electric cars or hydrogen powered vehicles?
2. Will we continue to take the easy path and mine coal cheaply so we can keep the lights on or will we commit to moving toward green sources of energy, including wind and solar, that cost more?
3. These are hard decisions to make and there are passionate arguments raging on both sides of the debate. Our country grew up on non-renewable resources. We ate coal for breakfast and washed it down with oil as we went to work industrializing our nation almost 150 years ago.
4. In those early days, we thought our country’s resources were limitless. As we’ve come to realize the truth, the concepts of co-generation, conservation and multiple use land management have evolved. We’ve come to understand that we must care for, and not exhaust, the land and resources that support us while leaving enough to support future generations.
5. That’s the challenge the Bureau of Land Management has to wrestle with every day. There is no crystal ball that can predict California’s or the nation’s energy needs. But one thing is certain, they will only increase. While the BLM can’t predict the future, we all can plan for it.
6. Every acre of land under the BLM’s care has a Land Use Plan. These plans detail critical guidelines for current and future resource development, whether it’s energy resources, environmental resources or leisure resources. These plans identify areas open to development and those that are off-limits due to environmental or cultural concerns as in archeological sites or sensitive wildlife habitats.
7. These plans look at the overall usage for the land. If it is to be developed for energy resources, the BLM has to think about the effects of building new roads, power lines and an infrastructure to support the operation, and how all of this may affect local populations of wildlife and people.
8. The BLM has initiated programs like the West Wide Energy Corridor that sets aside public lands strictly for energy development. These lands have already undergone the necessary impact studies and been approved for this use.
9. This means companies wishing to develop this land to feed California’s hunger for energy can build mining, generation or distribution facilities quicker.
10. The California state government has mandated that by 2017, California must generate at least 20% of its energy from renewable resources. To help achieve this goal, programs like the California Solar Initiative have made funds available for new buildings to be constructed with solar electricity and water heating systems. This program also provides funds for individuals and business to retrofit existing buildings with these systems.
11. The path our energy future takes is also largely dependent on you and me. By practicing conservation, the average person can make a huge difference. Every day more and more people are creating the demand for cars that get greater gas mileage, walking or riding a bicycle to near-by places and making sure they turn off the lights when they leave the room.
12. While a few kilowatt hours of electricity a year or a few gallons of gas a month may not seem like a lot, when you add it up across a state that contains more than 10% of the nation’s population, the numbers make a huge difference.
13. There are literally thousands of types of conservation options available to businesses, schools, cities and residences. More and more cities are looking at their mass transit capabilities-- buses, trolleys and light rail systems, as a way to reduce congestion and pollution. People are adding extra insulation to their homes to reduce heating and cooling bills, separating their garbage for recycling and taking advantage of programs like the California Solar Initiative.
14. All the while, the quest for future energy technologies continues.
California’s coast offers a huge potential for developing tidal energy, which is a form of hydroelectric energy. Instead of using the rushing waters of a river to generate electricity, it harnesses the power of the ocean’s tides and waves.
15. A wider selection of hybrid cars that use batteries and gasoline are now on the market. Even more futuristic technologies, such as hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicles are currently in the works.
16. Methane gas captured from large landfills and California’s large dairy industry can be harnessed and burned to generate electricity.
17. There are many, many options California can take into the future. The key is understanding that we must strike a balance, not only in the resources we use, but the ways in which we use them.
18. This is the core of the Bureau of Land Management’s mission: to ensure that the energy-rich lands we rely on in the present are maintained for the future use of all.
1. So what does the future hold? That depends greatly on us. There is no question the age of petroleum, the fuel that drives the economies of industrialized nations to greatness, will not last forever. Will we continue to explore for and pump oil until it’s all gone or will we abandon it in favor of alternative sources for use in electric cars or hydrogen powered vehicles?
