Sentences with phrase «power generation options»

Ten years ago, Musk wrote about the «secret master plan» for Tesla, which began with building a low - volume expensive electric car, then using the profits from that to develop a medium - volume EV at a lower price, using the money from that car to create «an affordable, high volume car,» and to then «provide zero emission electric power generation options» (solar).

Nuclear power is seen as a reliable source of energy and the chosen option for future power generation.

McGuinty ceded that his proposals to implement renewables were poorly planned and managed; renewable projects were taken over by deep pocketed oil companies that would foist them on people in notably contentious locations giving wind a bad name, high FITs that did not adjust to market forces over the long term, no comprehensive agreement with neighbours for better power sharing agreements, no power storage strategy, no coordinated conservation or efficiency plan that included distributed generation, CHP, microCHP, automated demand response management, and worst of all there was no options analysis of subsidies to various producers.

Traditionally, when presented with a constraint on the system relating to reliability, load growth or the introduction of intermittent generation, a utility had one option: build new infrastructure, such as new substations, power plants or transmission lines.

The panel contends that atomic energy is an option for building a low - carbon society on grounds that nuclear power generation doesn't emit carbon dioxide.

That being said, the many advantages of tidal power as an energy generation and energy storage option mean that it probably has an important role to play in building a sustainable global society.
