Not exact matches

The whole thing started in 2015, when Stanford professor Mark Jacobson and some colleagues published a paper arguing that, by mid-century, the United States could be powered entirely by clean energy sources — and by clean, he meant the really clean stuff (wind, solar, hydropower), not the only - somewhat - cleaner - than - coal stuff like natural gas, nuclear energy, and biofuels.

Two sources provide more than 99 percent of the power for our civilization: solar and nuclear.

Governor Cuomo has argued that nuclear power is cleaner than fossil fuels, and is a needed bridge fuel during a transition to wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources.

In the short term, new gas - fired power stations can help cut emissions, but only if they replace existing coal - fired power stations rather than nuclear plants or renewable energy sources.

Nuclear power produces less greenhouse gas [CO2] than any other source, including coal, natural gas, hydro, solar and wind.

I'm convinced that the United States will be better off keeping existing nuclear power stations running, where their management can be demonstrated to be reliable, rather than initiating a decades - long decommissioning process that would not resolve community concerns about spent fuel and many other sources of risk.

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).

A new 1,000 - page Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report appears to ignore both nuclear power and shale gas — even though both these energy sources emit far less CO2 than does coal.

Showing data from financial firm Lazard and other sources, their presentation said natural gas, coal and even some nuclear power plants were the lowest - cost producers of electricity on the planet, cheaper than wind or solar.

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.

While wind and solar energy are more intermittent than conventional power plants, no power source is available 100 percent of the time, which is why even nuclear, oil, coal and natural gas power plants can be considered intermittent sources.

However, none of the alternative technologies, including nuclear power, appear at present to promise sufficient cost reduction to enable the electric power industry to again become a leading rather than a sustaining source of economic growth in the U.S. economy.

Once hydrogen production is converted to a non-fossil source (probably electrolytic or thermochemical splitting of water, powered by nuclear energy) and all industrial hydrogen (for things like the Haber Process) sourced thus, it would probably be better to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels (either methanol, or Fischer - Tropsch petrol or diesel) than attempt to use hydrogen directly.
