What would be really bold is suggesting that the GE factory closing in Hudson Falls be taken over by the displaced, fired workers; and have the plant move into high tech, or renewable energy production.
Panelists will include authors of the Synapse report Air Emissions Displacement by Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, a survey of evidence that renewable resources and energy efficiency have indeed displaced fossil fuel resources connected to Renewable Energy, a survey of evidence that renewable resources and energy efficiency have indeed displaced fossil fuel resources connected to renewable resources and energy efficiency have indeed displaced fossil fuel resources connected to the grid.
As renewable energy displaces high - carbon fossil fuel generation, cleaner electricity can replace petroleum and natural gas in transportation and heating by fueling electric vehicles and heat pumps.
But for natural gas to truly play a bridging role, guardrails will need to be in place, for example, by ensuring that natural gas displaces coal generation (rather than merely adding to it) and supporting other measures like carbon pricing, methane regulations, and renewable portfolio standards (Lazarus et al. 2015).
That's why oil, coal, and gas will not be easily displaced by present - day renewable - energy technologies that are expensive and intermittent, or by energy - efficiency measures that are more expensive to implement than their proponents have been willing to admit.
Like others, I have called for renewable power to be used both to replace the electricity produced by fossil fuel and to expand the total supply, displacing the oil used for transport and the gas used for heating fuel.
Countries are spending countless billions of dollars annually on faulty to fraudulent IPCC climate models and studies that purport to link every adverse event or problem to manmade climate change; subsidized renewable energy programs that displace food crops and kill wildlife; adaptation and mitigation measures against future disasters that exist only in «scenarios» generated by the IPCC's GIGO computer models; and welfare, food stamp and energy assistance programs for the newly unemployed and impoverished.
The Market - Power Renewables Act and Renewable Energy Credit Act are two newer, more subtle attempt to weaken RPS laws by phasing in a renewable power voluntary program, creating space for existing and out - of - state energy credits to displace new clean energy, and eventually repealing the RPS requirements Renewable Energy Credit Act are two newer, more subtle attempt to weaken RPS laws by phasing in a renewable power voluntary program, creating space for existing and out - of - state energy credits to displace new clean energy, and eventually repealing the RPS requirements renewable power voluntary program, creating space for existing and out - of - state energy credits to displace new clean energy, and eventually repealing the RPS requirements entirely.
Synapse has developed a variety of mechanisms for evaluating emissions displaced by energy efficiency and renewable energy, from simple diagnostic metrics to regulatory tools to complex evaluation models.
Even if it is nominally replaced by renewable power, a kilowatt - hour of renewable electricity that replaces lost nuclear electricity is a kilowatt - hour that is not available to displace coal and gas from the grid.»
On the other hand air pollution from the burning of coal kills millions of people each year, as reported by the World Health Organisation, and renewable energy, including wind power, displaces coal fired power.
As for renewables, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently concluded that if a third of the energy in the West were supplied by wind and solar, these resources would displace $ 7 billion in annual fuel costs and reduce greenhouse gas pollution from the energy sector by approximately 30 percent.
When we assume the ethanol production process is fully renewable, it would take all the corn in the country to displace about 3.5 percent of our gasoline consumption — only slightly more than we could displace by making sure drivers» tires are inflated properly.
There would be a very rapid transition from fossil fuels to 100 % renewable energy, starting with an orderly closure of our most carbon intensive power stations and assisted by just transition pathways for displaced workers.
We're talking about a world where California gets more than 50 percent of its electricity from renewables in 2030 (up from 25 percent today), where zero - emissions vehicles are 25 percent of the fleet by 2035 (up from about 1 percent today), where high - speed rail is displacing car travel, where biofuels have replaced a significant chunk of diesel in heavy - duty trucks, where pastures are getting converted to forests, where electricity replaces natural gas in heating, and on and on.
It is staying ahead mostly by building hydro, and in the tropics that releases a lot of methane (and displaces people and destroys habitats), in some cases so much that it's «dirtier» than coal, so being renewable isn't much of a plus if you're worried about GHG emissions.
