Occasionally though, researchers focus on combining technologies to create an even better one, like tandem solar cells that also produce hydrogen, or in this case, a new nanomaterial that can harness both thermal energy and light into electricity at the same time.

Both PV and solar - thermal systems like BrightSource's currently produce electricity at a cost of about 17.5 cents a kilowatt hour in ideal environments, without incentives, New Energy Finance estimates, and the cost of solar PV power may decline by about half in the next decade.

Let's make some big assumptions: 1) Hyperion will ever actually deliver these modules (apparently the release date for these $ 25 million nuclear plant on a flatbed has been pushed back another year, to 2014); 2) Generating all of the electricity at a tar sands mine through nuclear power will actually reduce emissions to a level comparable to conventional petroleum.

It is virtually noise - free and can generate electricity at a low speed, which may result in less opposition to new installations.

While a bit less efficient than solar — it generates roughly 1 kilowatt per square meter — wind energy can be converted to electricity at a lower cost.
