Thanks to the rising cost of coal and natural gas — as well as the short - term cost benefits of cadmium telluride, and falling costs of silicon and other solar options — the National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that solar energy could reach nationwide grid parity by 2017.

The EPA's draft CPP repeal, put online Friday by Politico, picks up on those arguments, saying that the CPP's provisions «raised substantial concerns that the CPP would necessitate changes to a state's energy policy, such as a grid - wide shift from coal - fired to natural gas - fired generation, and from fossil fuel - fired generation to renewable generation.»

Adding wind and solar photovoltaic capacity to the grid may require augmenting the amount of peak - load plants, which can be done relatively cheaply by adding gas turbines, which can be fueled by sustainably - produced biofuels or natural gas.

In this scenario, electricity produced by natural gas power plants could «crowd out» renewable generation by forcing the grid operator to curtail renewables to avoid a situation in which electricity supply exceeds demand.

California can also maintain adequate grid flexibility and reliability while reducing reliance on natural gas by deploying a combination of advanced demand response — which shifts energy consumption to periods when the grid needs it the most — and energy storage like batteries.

Both sets of comments explain that New England's expanding clean energy resources are moving the grid in the right direction by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and lessening the electricity system's vulnerability to cold - weather disruptions in natural gas supplies.

Traditional grids invented by Thomas Edison draw supplies from a handful of generators fueled mostly by coal, nuclear and natural gas plants, which can run around the clock.

California's RPS increases electricity costs in part by requiring the purchase of renewables even when they can not be relied on to power the grid, requiring undiminished capacity from the combination of natural gas, hydro, and nuclear power.

By August, DOE released the study, which pinned coal and nuclear retirements on cheap natural gas, debunked reliability concerns, and identified opportunities to improve grid resilience.

We want to see a migration of services that are now fueled by natural gas, diesel, and gasoline to being powered by this new, clean electric grid.

In Papua, where the bulk of new connections come from decentralised technologies, innovative grid solutions including small - scale gas - fired plants dotted around the island and fed by liquefied natural gas, also play an important part in bringing universal access.

It would have a small effect on electricity from a grid that is mostly nuclear and renewables (like France) but have a large effect on electricity from a grid like Australia's that is generated by 70 % coal and 20 % natural gas.

In other words, if a coal plant was replaced by a natural gas plant, would there be implications for the grid?

Around half of our grid - based electricity could be supplied by means of a few very large power systems burning methane, either in the form of natural gas or the effluvium from underground coal gasification [the only way to employ coal cleanly, he argues], and burying the carbon dioxide they produce.

Depending on the electricity source of the local grid, even the most efficient electric car could be charged by coal or natural gas, or by hydropower (no combustion emissions, but linked to increased methane emissions), or nuclear energy (which might qualify as clean or low - carbon energy, but which also has its own environmental bugaboos and massive costs to consider)

Substituting in natural gas, wind, and solar for coal is a (relatively) manageable task, and the transition is aided by the fact that 1) renewables keep getting cheaper, 2) new technologies and policies are facilitating more flexible grids, and 3) electricity demand in the United States has stagnated for years, thanks to improvements in energy efficiency.
