One idea that I would like to put out is that a way to break this problem down is to consider the country by region. In the east we have a lot of people, we have chemical processing capacity, and we have big markets. This might be the place where we work towards a biomass to a liquid fuel or a biomass to chemical option. In the west we have a big conventional energy industry. They have big needs for heat. Maybe that's where we work towards renewable heat. In the north I would argue that electricity—particularly as you move into the off-grid communities—becomes an overriding concern. Maybe we look at different ways of generating renewable electricity in those zones.
So we might end up working on three pathways rather than 50, but it would give us a way to bring things down to a more cohesive form.
