Jobs and Opportunities
• The construction job creation in developing $4 billion of infrastructure over 7 years is significant
• The workforce in supporting that development is generally equal to the direct jobs created
• The long term jobs created are approximately 67,000 to 100,000 according to the Milken Institute, IMPLAN and ARRA
• The training and retraining of trades and the curriculum adjustments for education this plan requires will prove to be a positive for Galveston and surrounding
• University involvement with project details and the R&D that could be advanced and implemented will to be prove of significant import
• Long term jobs will be associated with the future of Biomass/Biofuels/Biotech and the process’ and products derived along with export and logistics
Jobs, Training and Retraining
Up to 100,000 permanent jobs created
• Desalination has been used for thousands of years - Greek sailors boiled water to evaporate fresh water away from the salt and Romans used clay filters to trap salt.
• Today’s sophisticated methods still generally use the concepts of
distillation or filtration.
• There are about 15,000 desalination plants around the world. The biggest plants are generally in areas with few fresh water resources or with large populations by seas and oceans, such as the Orient / Middle East, Asia / Asia Pacific, Asia Minor, Australia / New Zealand and North Africa / Africa.
• The largest Desalination and Cogeneration plants are presently in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, and India
Desalination and Cogeneration Facts
Desalination and Cogeneration have existed since the 1800’s and the size and scope are ever expanding while construction and operating costs are coming down
Desalination and Cogeneration Facts
Lower Operating Cost and Additional Revenues from Export Power are the Purpose and Design of Desalination and Cogeneration in Tandem
• Desalination with Cogeneration systems—also called combined heat and power (CHP) systems are designed to generate both heat and power
• The thermal energy can be used to generate heated water and
steam production as well as for various types of process heat.
• Reduces or eliminates transportation and distribution costs of fuel source or power source. Addition of boiler system or other heat storage medium further increases operating time and efficiency.
• Thermal energy can be used to generate heating water and
steam production, as well as for various types of process heat.

Implementation
Implementation Plan
• Create a non taxing Infrastructure Authority
• Establish Board Members and governance, including State of Texas
• Engage professional services; bankers, accountants, legal
• Authority raises initial tranche of capital for Business Plan development and pre-construction planning
• Engage additional professionals; engineers, architects, specialists
• Institute business plan and construction programming for phase 1
• Authority coordinates with relevant local, state and federal entities, including water, power, transportation, port, EPA, Corps of Engineers, etal.
• Authority negotiates and finalizes Purchase Agreements for Water and Power
• Authority devises and markets financial instrument via underwriters for Phase 1 capital requirements
Next Steps
• Give the city manger and the city attorney the permission to work with Arthur Val Perkins of the firm Gardere Wynne Sewell.
• Create a non taxing Infrastructure Authority and bring it back to the city council in 30 days for consideration.
Implementation
If we fail to take advantage of this once-in-a-century opportunity, future generations will look back at us with a mix of disgust and anger. They will wonder how we let such a golden opportunity slip by and will think o us as “the idiot generation” And you know what? They will be right.
