Using varying combinations of these policies, the CEF explores three possible scenarios for future energy use: "Business As Usual," "Moderate," and "Advanced." Under "Business As Usual," current energy policies continue more or less unchanged, with a "modest pace of technological progress." In the "Moderate" scenario, some reforms occur; and in the "Advanced" scenario, "a nationwide sense of urgency" motivates deeper reforms.
By the year 2020, the "Moderate" scenario sees emissions reduced by 9 percent to 10 percent, compared with "Business As Usual," and the country's energy bill is 14 percent lower.
