Sentences with phrase «huge energy capacity»

Not exact matches

Ramesh feels that «there has been huge drop in public confidence in nuclear energy,» and as a consequence setting up large nuclear energy parks of 10,000 MW capacity, as has been planned, needs a «relook.»

Renner's statement can be illustrated by the Bitcoin boom: it is not computing capacity itself, but the exorbitant energy use — which produces a huge amount of heat — and the associated costs that have become the deciding factors for the future of the cryptocurrency.

The offshore wind power potential in the U.S. is huge, totalling more than 4,000 gigawatts if fully developed — about four times today's total U.S. electric power generating capacity and enough electricity to power about 800 million homes, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

«There is a huge need to develop long - term sustainable, lightweight, high capacity energy storage systems for a range of applications», says Maria Strømme.

A far better near - term choice is wind power, but both wind and solar begin to have another problem at scales at or above that which Clinton is discussing: Since solar panels and wind turbines can't currently work at full capacity 24 hours a day, they require huge advances in energy storage and grid capacity, as well.

Therefore, urban areas place a huge burden not only on the absorptive capacity of the local environment; they also influence wide patterns of energy and land use in the surrounding and more distant areas, in the livelihoods and quality of life of people living... Read more

At least it does unless you have so overbuilt the capacity of the generating system that you end up throwing away huge quantities of energy when times are good.

Thermal equilibrium doesn't mean the same temperature, if for example, a gas in getting hotter expands and rises becoming less dense and under less pressure it can move faster, it's using thermal energy to move, there's no energy lost, it's just become something else, or, as temperature relates to kinetic energy not thermal energy then heat capacity comes into play, as water can absorb a huge amount of thermal energy before there's any rise in temperature, or whatever, but if you're equating all «energy» to «heat» as thermal energy then that's a different idea altogether, not all energy is heat.

Wind energy developers have a huge incentive to bring renewable generating capacity on line by December 31, 2001 so that they will qualify for a 1.7 - cent per kWh production tax credit that is available for the first 10 years of the each windmillís life.

In solar, production is only 10 % of capacity (peak production only occurs at best 15 % of each day), and is produced far from the place of use, so it requires huge investment in plant and backup generation, plus in dedicated transmission lines (which experience high energy loss in transmission).

Because despite adding considerable electricity generation capacity in the last decade, India's energy supply is still not meeting its huge growing demand, and a lack of supply and infrastructure issues means the price of grid electricity is rapidly rising.

Warm air can not significantly affect the oceans due to the huge difference in thermal capacities and by the effect of evaporation which removes unwanted energy to latent form as necessary to maintain the said equilibrium.

While other transient and long - term energy storage schemes are being considered, Norway's hydroelectric turbines — because of their huge capacity — will likely account for the brunt of it.
