Under the Reforming Energy Vision plan, power will come from smaller sources, including solar and wind, not large power plants that burn fossil fuels.
Babies born near the Paradise Fossil Plant (red diamond), which saw the biggest increase in production, tended to be born smaller after the shift.
One specimen had 32 small, pencil - shaped teeth similar to those of plant - eating sauropods called titanosaurs, fossils of which have also been found in the area.
The fossil, taken from amber mines in Myanmar, dates 97 - 110 million years ago to the early - to - mid Cretaceous, when the land was still dominated by dinosaurs and conifers, but the earliest flowering plants, grasses and small mammals were beginning to evolve.
Fossil - fueled peaking / backup plants will produce little CO2 output as long as their duty cycle is small, and their other pollutants become more tolerable too.
The Times article also raised concerns about small civilian aircraft being tossed by heat plumes, such as those from fossil plants.
In other words, when we burn fossil fuels, we are utilizing a small part of the solar energy that had been collected and stored by plants over millions of years, and in the process we are liberating into the atmosphere the carbon dioxide that those plants had absorbed from the atmosphere in the first place.
Luderer tells Carbon Brief: «The most important finding [of our research] was that the expansion of wind and solar power... comes with life - cycle emissions that are much smaller than the remaining emissions from existing fossil power plants, before they can finally be decommissioned.»
``... the combustion of fossil fuel... is likely to prove beneficial to mankind in several ways... For instance... small increases of mean temperature would be important at the northern margin of cultivation and the growth of... plants is directly proportional to the carbon dioxide pressure.»
Small quick fixes were sufficient to get the fossil fuel plants back on line in a few days, some in a few hours.

For example, the global average effect of any change in albedo from using solar power would be rather small in comparison to mitigation of climate change if that solar power is used (to displace fossil fuels) for a sufficient time period (example: if a 10 % efficient PV panel with zero albedo (reflectivity for solar (SW) radiation) covered ground with an albedo of 25 — 30 %, the ratio of total increased heating to electricity generation would be similar to that of many fuel - combusting or fission - powered power plants (setting aside inverter and grid efficiency, etc., but still it would be similar).
