Because utilities respond to price incentives, this caused fuel - switching of baseload electricity production from coal to natural gas, leading to a time in April 2012 when natural gas equaled coal as an energy source for the first time.

Surplus renewable electricity can be stored in a fleet of electric vehicle batteries, or as heat in water heaters, or as ice in air conditioners, and used when wind and solar production has slowed.

Further scientific analysis may reveal that methane leakage rates may be small enough to provide climate change emissions reduction benefits when coal combustion of electricity production is replaced by natural gas combustion.

This is a very important incentive because it gives you credit for your solar electricity generated during the day that is beyond the needs of your house and allows you to use that credit to meet your power needs when your solar energy production is insufficient to meet your needs (such as at night).

«And when there is little wind, the expansion does not help, as electricity production then remains close to zero.

When the wealthy greens among us install a solar panel system on their roofs, this power production represents only one of four components of your electricity bill: Generation.

One question that occurs to me when considering the characteristics of wind and solar generated electricity, is why waste the billions of dollars needed to build, operate and transmit from wind and solar farms when gas turbines that produce 80 % of the renewable production?

However, these electricity output numbers are tiny when considered in light of total Texas electricity production and / or annual production from other generating stations in Texas.

When demand for electricity and heating were at their highest, wind and solar production were at their lowest

At the same time, new energy storage devices like Tesla's Powerwall and Powerpack batteries — which can be used to store electricity when solar panels aren't generating energy — are starting to change the way we think about the timing of electricity production altogether.

However, the relation is complex: Only when prosumers have the choice between self - consumption and sale of the surplus electricity production to the grid we observe a statistically significant effect on consumption behavior.

«This is almost a mirror image of wind production patterns: wind is highest in the spring and fall, when electricity needs are lowest, and lowest in summer when electricity demand peaks,» the report notes.

The NAS National Research Council calculates that the health costs from fossil fuel combustion are in the billions: «WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates «hidden» costs of energy production and use — such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health — that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.

When the cost of required backup production and subsidies is calculated, industrial wind energy ends up costing consumers a great deal more than conventional electricity production.
