The moral of the story, in essence, is that «future energy» — at least through the next couple of decades — is largely the same as current energy, with gains in efficiency and growth in adoption of renewable sources and nuclear power still not substantially blunting growth in the combustion of fossil fuels.

It could also * potentially * be used for storage of power from intermittent sources such as wind and solar — I stress potentially, because as yet the process isn't practical due to low efficiency and the cost of electrolyzers and fuel cells.

However, you don't want to argue for a rational solution — i.e. cheap nuclear power (which also happens to be 10 to 100 times safer than our currently accepted main source of electricity generation, fossil fuel) and also happens to be a near zero emission technology (in fact much lower than renewables given they need fossil fuel backup, and given solar needs about 10 times as much material per TWh on an LCA basis).

The gasoline and diesel we use to fuel our vehicles is also the largest source of climate - wrecking carbon pollution in the region — emitting roughly twice as much as power plants.

Higher density sources of fuel such as coal and natural gas utilized in centrally - produced power stations actually improve the environmental footprint of the poorest nations while at the same time lifting people from the scourge of poverty... Developing countries in Asia already burn more than twice the coal that North America does, and that discrepancy will continue to expand... So, downward adjustments to North American coal use will have virtually no effect on global CO2 emissions (or the climate), no matter how sensitive one thinks the climate system might be to the extra CO2 we are putting back into the atmosphere.

The transportation sector has eclipsed power plants as the biggest source of US carbon emissions, and EPA calculated in 2010 that the tougher fuel - efficiency standards would prevent more than one year's worth of total US carbon emissions over the lifetime of new vehicles sold from 2012 through 2025.

Although the balancing of renewable power sources with fossil fuels is widely regarded as a temporary fix that's not suited for larger shares of renewable energy, most other technological strategies (described below) can only partially reduce the need for balancing capacity.

The introduction of machines powered by cheap and easily accessible fossil fuels led to a decline in the use of wind power, but since reserves of these fuels are finite and as the world becomes more conscious of the pollution generated by these fuels, focus has turned once again to tapping this free source of energy.

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.

It would involve mounting a hydrogen fuel cell on a barge that could act as a mobile source of shore power.

Public officials responsible for decisions made by Health Canada continue to espouse the now worn phrase: «This source of energy is viewed as a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels,» but it is now recognized that wind power always requires back up, including fossil fuels, and lots of it, and it does nothing at all to abate climate change or CO ₂ levels.

They want the states to implement the CIC's ideology concerning the supposed need for using so - called «renewable» (perhaps better described as unreliable) sources of electric power rather than fossil fuels.

However, when you think about specific sources of emission such as power generation and transport emissions there are far more effective ways of reducing these emissions that avoid the need for increasing the price of fuels and / or driving up the average price of electricity to the point where investment in clean electricity is justified.
