Knoxville — 1968 — three peer - reviewed IEEE papers published), I spent most of my career designing, building and commissioning electric power generating plants including hydro, pumped storage, coal fired, natural gas, nuclear (both PWR and BWR), geothermal, wood - waste, and landfill gas.

Drawing on the latest technologies, including those used by oil and gas companies in drilling and in enhanced oil recovery, the team estimated that enhanced geothermal systems could be used to develop 100,000 megawatts of electrical generating capacity in the United States by 2050, a capacity equal to 250 coal - fired power plants.

So, the fact that the Sun is spatially «external» to the Earth greenhouse blanket is just as irrelevant to the location of the effective heat source (where actual heat is being produced) as is the fact that the power plant that generates the power for your electrical house heating system is «external» to your house.

We now have over 1,000 gigawatts of generating plants [1], and a large and elaborate electrical grid that requires great coordination among system operators to avoid disruptions.

As Sam says, MWe denotes electrical power and is in fact universally used to denote the sustained electrical output of thermal generating plants.

By rejecting 1,000 MW equivalent of waste heat to the upper atmosphere instead of at ground level, it is possible to generate an additional 200 MW of electrical energy, thereby increasing the electrical output of a plant by 40 %.

Note that most of the storage, transport, and power generation technology for methane is already mature, and that a strong reliance on methane could reduce the need for large electrical grids with huge generating plants.

· Free Fuel: Unlike other forms of electrical generation where fuel is shipped to a processing plant, wind energy generates electricity at the source of fuel, which is free.

AIA lists the ambitions set for the building: «1) to create the best possible learning environment by providing exceptional daylighting, views, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort; 2) to make the sustainable design strategies a visible part of the students» education by developing the site as a teaching tool with natural drainage and native and food - producing plants; 3) to inspire and excite the community about the possibilities of sustainable design and in turn generate support and private funding; 4) to reach net - zero electricity use through exceptional efficiency and adding photovoltaic (PV) capacity to meet the remaining electrical demand; and 5) to reach these goals with only a modest cost premium.»
