Objective: Optimize office printing infrastructure at 3M locations worldwide, integrate centrally
controlled solution for improved manageability and workflow, while reducing total cost.
Approach: 3M replaced personal printers and aging copiers with a five-year Managed Print
Services agreement from HP covering its worldwide office printing needs.
IT Improvements Business Benefits
Centrally controlled printer/MFP fleet – greater
reliability
Greater than $3M in savings – first two years
Reduced devices 47% globally, number of models
dropped from 101 to 9
Reduced per page costs by 90% and used less
supplies requiring less recycling and paper
Centralized management facilitates automated
supply ordering and identifies performance issues
early
Flexible deployment as 3M grows and changes

21. Basic Data on Wind
Co-Profit LLC, ken@coprofitcoach.com, Ken Carlson 303-674-6282 21
At 20% Wind by 2030 - 500,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created.
2008 - 55 new wind turbine component manufacturing facilities opened, expanded or were announced in the United
States
Wind Pwr Capacity - 32% growth/year the last 5 years (2004-2008)
1.5 MW - 3.0 MW generates 120 X as much electricity as 1980s models at 1/4 the per-unit cost.
U.S. winds could generate more electricity in 15 years than all of Saudi Arabia's oil, without being depleted
Today's 25,000 MW wind project fleet avoids 44 million tons of CO₂ (= 7,000,000 cars off the road)
Reduce cumulative water consumption in the electric sector by 8% or 4 Trillion gallons from 2007 through 2030
(eere.energy.gov)
University of Wisconsin-Madison calculated the average energy payback on Midwestern wind farms to between 17 & 39
times as much energy as they consume (depending on average wind speeds at the sight), while nuclear power plants
generate about 16 times and coal plants 11 times as much energy as they consume.
U.S. Dept. of Energy estimates America's wind energy potential to be much larger than total U.S. electricity
consumption today.

22. Offshore Wind & Hydro
Co-Profit LLC, ken@coprofitcoach.com, Ken Carlson 303-674-6282 22
Offshore Wind:
18 years of experience - since 1991 - with offshore wind projects in Europe
33 projects operating in 8 countries (Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Finland,
Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Ireland.
1471 MW of offshore wind turbines in Europe generate electricity 70 - 90% of the
time
No offshore wind projects have been built in the U.S.
Per DOE - could account for 54,000 MW of 300,000 MW envisioned in 20%
scenario
Hydropower plants
U. S. has 80,000 dams of which only 2,400 produce power. (others for
recreation, stock/farm ponds, flood control, water supply, & irrigation.

Carlson 303-674-6282 26
1. If I am just starting out in the solar energy business, i.e.. I have
a small number of installs, mostly residential, under my belt….what do you suggest
as the best way to get into the commercial or government market? How important
is it to go after stimulus funds? Is that too much of a distraction?
2. Where do you see wind power fitting in with the renewable energy
strategy?
3. What manufacturers of wind capture technology do you see leading
the way here in the US, whether they are US or foreign companies?
4. Aside from turbines (wind mills), what other wind capture
equipment is being used, or being developed?
