Sentences with phrase «coal capacity does»

Not exact matches

Solar power might be an undeniable part of our future — the industry created double the amount of jobs as coal did last year and accounts for nearly 40 % of new electric capacity added to the grid, more than wind or even natural gas — but SolarCity itself isn't.

Some analysts expect that existing grid capacity may be enough to power U.S. electric cars in the near future, yet they do not rule out the possibility of new coal or nuclear plants coming on line if renewable energy sources are not developed

Just recently, Duke was given authority by Bush's former OMB Director, Mitch Daniels to force their customers to assume the risk for the plant even though the utility commission did not require Duke to file anything near a current construction cost estimate for the 630 Megawatt plant they are seeking to build in what is already the largest concentration of coal fired capacity in the world, SW Indiana.

so how do you plan on getting China to shut down their coal plants, not to mention building more capacity than the US has?

Trains can run on diesel as well as electricity (or coal if the dark ages do indeed return) and provide greater hauling capacity per unit fuel (or unit CO2 if you prefer).

We don't have the electric capacity in nuclear, solar, hydro, combined cycle, etc to replace the missing coal fired plants.

The Estonian Presidency generously proposes that as of 2025 new coal plants do not receive capacity payments.

The capacity market approach pays utilities and other operators billions of pounds to commit to keep their coal, gas, nuclear and hydro power plants open, for up to four years ahead, regardless of whether they were planning to do this anyway, and regardless of whether they generate any electricity.

The daily and seasonal consumption patterns don't allow for an all coal power plant infrastructure to output 24/7 at their rated capacity.

So China built many hundreds of coal plants in the last 15 years, and they lead the world in fossil fuel burned and CO2 emissions (accounting for 30 % of total world emissions), but this does not mean that the increase in capacity in China even correlates with fossil fuel burned?

Operating cost for electric cars is $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 per mile versus $ 0.10 for gasoline powered cars once battery replacement costs are included By 2020, Chinese PER CAPITA emissions will be higher than America's Does not believe that the 0.6 degree temperature rise to date is the West's «fault,» but does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid Does not believe that the 0.6 degree temperature rise to date is the West's «fault,» but does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid fuel

Do you think 40 + GW of coal power plant capacity sits around idling when solar and wind do their thinDo you think 40 + GW of coal power plant capacity sits around idling when solar and wind do their thindo their thing?

But it's worth noting that present coal burning capacity in China is 900 gigawatts and the best news for all involved would be if this capacity did not increase and that China's rate of overall coal use continued to fall.

Although China is adding wind and solar power capacity at a rapid clip, after years of exporting most of their solar panel output, the scale of the country's coal use doesn't lend itself to easy or quick substitution by these renewables.

This is based on assumed annual demand growth of 6.34 %; further scenarios with higher growth rates and low addition of renewables capacity do require new coal stations, but still only at most half of those under construction.

The system succeeded in meeting this demand, but the way it did so, through increased use of conventional energy, and in spite of mediocre to poor performance from renewables, has raised serious questions about the country's ability to withstand similar shocks in the future, when much conventional capacity, mostly coal, will have retired without replacement.

They have a free pass on Climate until 2030 and then they will do theie «best» and have been busy building coal gen capacity to serve them for 50 years more.

However, existing pipelines do not have enough capacity to meet growing demand, particularly when coal - fired and nuclear power plants are being prematurely retired.

(It may even be feasible to maintain a low - level coal - fired grid, of about 15 percent of current capacity, as a back - up for days the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine.)

I do believe that wind has value in the energy mix, though it is pricey and due to capacity factor issues must be supplemented with a load base that includes dispatch - able fuel sources that can be started up and shut down fairly quickly, such as gas.We do need variety in our electricity fuel mix (including coal), just as we need it in our genome pool... for rapid changes in the external environment.

And when we do need to add new capacity, it will likely come from far cleaner coal technologies, nuclear power and renewables like wind and solar, the two men asserted.

«It is clear that China is coming to terms with the fact it does not need any more coal capacity in a market where existing plants are not even running half the time.
