The target of the directive is to increase RES from 6% to 12% of gross energy consumption by 2010. For example, even though the gross energy cost of a two-mile (30minute) walk for a 150-pound overweight woman is 138 calories, the net energy cost is only 89 calories because the resting metabolism accounts for 34 calories and other informal physical movement counts for at least 15 calories. These contracts call for an aggregate of $966 million from gross energy sales over 20 years. |
