Understanding how heat behaves in ultra-small
gaps is critical for advancing next -
generation data storage and devices that convert heat directly into
electricity.
Clearly, there is more information to be gathered about the environmental impact of extracting natural gas and using it for
electricity generation, and I look forward to the conclusion of a currently running EPA study to fill in some of the
gaps in our knowledge.
Renewables are expected to cover more than 60 % of the increase in world
electricity generation over the medium term, rapidly closing the
gap with coal.
The result: Though CSP requires the direct normal irradiance (DNI) found in abundance in the world's sunny high deserts, even importing
generation from high - DNI deserts in Spain and Morocco, CSP with thermal energy storage could become an economically competitive option, due to its ability with storage to fill the
gaps created by intermittent
generation.Imports of thermal solar from Spain and Morocco would entail building HVDC (high Voltage Direct Current) lines, because direct current is the most effective way to transport large amounts of
electricity long - distance.

generation disappears by 2022,
electricity production from natural gas will play an important transitional role in Germany in order to fill the
gap left open from the closing of nuclear capacity.
«Wind energy's major cost declines have, and will continue to be, critical to opening up new opportunities throughout Canada — whether it is to support the coal phase - out, or to fill an emerging power supply
gap as nuclear power plants are refurbished in Ontario, or to help the northeast United States reduce its reliance on fossil - fuel powered
generation through clean
electricity imports from Quebec or Atlantic Canada.
