-- Suppose there lived a man in the immediately succeeding
generation who combined in his own person a tyrant's power with a tyrant's passion, and suppose that this man had somehow conceived the idea of concentrating his entire time and
energy upon the
problem of bringing the truth to light on this point, would this constitute him a disciple?
What is required for this to happen, more than anything else, Is not a technology revolution, but a mindset evolution away from old technology that has passed its use - by date, (such as extensive, polluting and smelly lagoons) and outdated attitudes that treat waste water as a cost or even place in which to hide process
problems, rather than a resource for recycling and
generation of green
energy.
The Company is driving innovations that extract value from material, polymer, chemical and biological science to help address many of the world's most challenging

problems with
energy generation in patient's muscles.
Another
problem is that the best wind - and solar -
generation sites are in the Midwest and Southwest, far from the
energy - hungry population centers on the east and west coasts.
The
problem with wind continues to be its intermittent power
generation and short - lived
energy storage capacity.

Our second daily report from CHDI's annual HD therapies meeting in Palm Springs, devoted to
problems with
energy generation and chemical pathways... and ways we might be able to fix them
As formulated now: We need to switch to carbonless
energy generation so that we can get on with our consumptive lifestyle — the
problem is intractable.
It'd be great to think that renewable
energy sources and distributed electricity
generation could solve such
problems, and they're great where they work.
The
problems are: Lack of a constructive, earth nurturing moral outlook, ideology that encourages expanding capitalist economies that do not factor ecological capital or its destruction into their bottom line, greed as a way of life, corporate imperatives and power, intentionally misinformed or ignorant public (especially in the United States and China), inertia, rampant bad design in
energy generation, housing, transportation, community planning, consumer products and packaging and materials cycling, etc..
The entwined climate /
energy / development challenge is the world's worst
problem, with every single facet posing challenges to a species that is mainly «here and now» and with any
generation only prodded to powerful action by powerful events.
•
Energy generation from coal without «CCS» (carbon capture and storage) is a big
problem in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.
«Part of my
problem with the whole process is, that it seems that the cleaner we make our
energy generation capability... now we want to come up against an obstacle that nothing can come out of those pipes, we have already taken out the VOX, the NOX, the SOX, the POX, the TOX.
C. Technically, it is still possible to solve the climate
problem, but there are two essential requirements: (1) a simple across - the - board (all fossil fuels) rising carbon fee [2] collected from fossil fuel companies at the domestic source (mine or port of entry), not a carbon price «scheme,» and the money must go to the public, not to government coffers, otherwise the public will not allow the fee to rise as needed for phase - over to clean
energy, (2) honest government support for, rather than strangulation of, RD&D (research, development and demonstration) of clean
energy technologies, including advanced
generation, safe nuclear power.
The primary current
problem is that the climate alarmists are creating enormous
problems in the
generation and use of reliable
energy necessary for the development and even the continuation of modern civilization, with adverse effects on the economy, human welfare, and even the environment, all for no significant benefits to anyone except vendors of renewable
energy facilities.
Clean, local
energy resources like
energy efficiency, distributed renewable
generation, and
energy storage are tools that can solve grid
problems instead of relying only on building expensive infrastructure projects.
Reduce dependency on (imported) fossil fuels (balance of payments, reliance on potentially unfriendly or unstable nations as suppliers, high cost at the pump, all
problems as seen from US viewpoint): — encourage nuclear power
generation (cut red tape)-- encourage
energy savings and improved efficiency projects (tax breaks)-- encourage basic research into new (non fossil fuel) resources (subsidies)-- encourage imports from friendly neighbor, Canada (Keystone pipeline)-- encourage local oil and gas exploration («drill, baby, drill»)-- encourage «clean coal» projects (tax incentives)-- set goal to become
energy independent within ten years
Solar and wind in particular, along with several other clean
energy generation systems do not «burn» any fuel to produce electricity, they do not «emit» anything into the air as a byproduct of electricity
generation, and hence they help solve the
problem and smooth the transition to a lower carbon economy.

But electricity
generation is not the core
energy problem unless one is erroneously focused only on CO2, in which case the simple answer in many places is CCGT — as is happening in the US for economic reasons.
Because of these existing dispatchable resources, California poses a less challenging
problem than most areas elsewhere, most or all practical renewable
energy sources are variable
generation, and dedicated storage must be purchased for leveling power output.
If «heating the globe» is the
problem (and CO2 is just correlated by this ratio when most of the
energy is «C - based»), then switching to modes of
energy generation that supply the same amount of heat, but less CO2, little is gained.
The green proposition of electric cars, especially the plug - in variety, is that by promoting the development of electricity
generation and
energy storage technology development (in the form of
energy storage devices such as batteries), electric cars are not only reducing the need for gasoline, but also creates pull factors for the development of grid - connected renewable
energy sources such as solar and wind
energy by creating new electricity demand and provide
energy storage solutions to address the
problems of the intermittent nature of solar and wind power.
Evan Halper's December 2 article in the Los Angeles Times, «Power Struggle: Green
energy versus a grid that's not ready» perpetuates the false narrative that renewable
energy increases the risk of blackouts, when in fact the
problem is centralized fossil fuel nonrenewable
generation.
Low carbon
energy generation shouldn't be a
problem, in theory.
But he wholly fails to explain what the implications of the variability
problem is (the need for overbuild of
generation capacity and expensive / unfeasible large - scale
energy storage), nor whether, if an effort is made to deal practically with these
problems in real national electricity grids, the «increasingly cheaper» renewables will ever become cheap enough (when all relevant real - world factors are considered) and reliable enough (without natural gas «backup»), to actually substitute for and displace fossil fuels (or nuclear) at the scale required.
The
problem, for storage system owners, is time - of - use rates are getting «stale,» and don't represent what mix of fuels are producing
generation on the grid on a moment - to - moment basis, said Alex Morris, director of policy and regulatory affairs for the California
Energy Storage Alliance (CESA).
The longer we wait to make the transition to clean
energy, the worse this
problem will get for our children and future
generations.
How can you be so certain that future
generations would not say we panicked on very little information, ignored the many unknowns and allowed ourselves to be diverted from real and pressing
problems of poverty, much of it caused by lack of
energy — to chase a phantom
problem that could be resolved as technological progress followed the wider prosperity achieved as poor countries developed?
There is no one solution to our current dilemma, reducing
energy consumption should have a higher priority than building wind farms, but wind power is just as much a long - term solution to the sustainable
energy problem as is any
generation technology.
«We are going to have to face the fact that climate change is one of several monumental environmental
problems our
generation will face,» Parker said during a keynote talk at the Entrepreneurial
Energy Expo at Babson College here on Thursday.
«Our goal from the very start was to find a clean
energy generation solution that could address the global scale of the carbon
problem.
Problems are often associated with bad policy decisions continued dirty
energy usage /
generation and some mandatory actions need to be made, i.e. Carbon fee and dividend or more and bigger renewable
energy projects.
Researchers are coming up with ways to solve the
problems that are being caused by renewable
energy, investors are putting capital to the task, and apparently the Chinese have discovered that sick people is a bigger
problem than power
generation.
In fact, before Brook heard about fourth
generation nuclear, he thought the global warming
problem was intractable because his own calculations confirmed the observations of many others (including
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, MIT President Susan Hockfield and US Senator Lamar Alexander) regarding the necessity of nuclear power due to the problems with renewables being able to scale to meet our energy
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, MIT President Susan Hockfield and US Senator Lamar Alexander) regarding the necessity of nuclear power due to the
problems with renewables being able to scale to meet our

Moreover, Wind - it solves the
problem of linking
energy generation and electricity transmission in the same way - by co-locating them.
Generation Awake is providing plenty of facts about our water supply and use, the quality of our air, the
problems of our waste - streams, our
energy usage, etc., and educates readers on alternatives, in the hopes that people will then begin to make more sustainable choices.
Typically a contaminate to worry about, a group of engineers from Stanford University have figured out how to turn the
problem of nitrates in the water in to a possible solution for
energy generation.
Last month, AIST announed its new flexible CIGS Photovoltaic Cell with an
energy conversion efficiency of 17.7 %, noting that the growing concerns about environmental
problems and increasing crude oil prices has led to an increased interest in power
generation using renewable
energy such as photovoltaics and other new
energy resources.
The renewable
energy market has been expanded, and the FIT system is being revised to address several
problems as a result of the rapid expansion of the renewables market, including a newly adopted bid pricing system for certain solar power
generation projects, the first of which is expected to occur within this year.
