According to the designers, the serpentine surfaces of Light Sanctuary capitalize on the flexibility and efficiency of third - generation thin - film photovoltaics, which won't lose performance even under extreme temperatures and can capture sunlight from a wider range of angles, in contrast to conventional solar panels:

This is the kind of flexibility conventional generators have which allows utilities, by altering the level of their output, to accommodate the forecast uncertainty and variability of non-dispatchable renewable generation.

«Tidal generation provides a consistent, regular supply of energy, ideal for coupling with our industrial energy storage machines to supply 24 hour base load energy, a service which is difficult to provide with conventional power - centric batteries.

«[Howarth et al.'s] analysis is seriously flawed in that they significantly overestimate the fugitive emissions associated with unconventional gas extraction, undervalue the contribution of «green technologies» to reducing those emissions to a level approaching that of conventional gas, base their comparison between gas and coal on heat rather than electricity generation (almost the sole use of coal), and assume a time interval over which to compute the relative climate impact of gas compared to coal that does not capture the contrast between the long residence time of CO2 and the short residence time of methane in the atmosphere.»

Their study found that preproduction emissions «are not substantial contributors to the life cycle estimates» — making Marcellus Shale gas essentially the same as conventional natural gas, which emits about 50 percent fewer emissions than coal when used for power generation.

This was apparently the fault of Western environmentalists, who had somehow obliged the clinic to use solar power, which is «at least 3 times more expensive than conventional forms of electrical generation.»

That also includes using a definition of «levelized cost» that deliberately ignores the hidden costs of maintaining a normal fuel - based generation grid capable of carrying the entire load because PV and wind (however cheap or expensive they might be when they are working) are literally incapable of working 24 × 7 and at best reduce the rate at which conventional plants consume fuel without reducing or eliminating the need for conventional plants.

Plummeting power prices as a result of cheap wind and solar generation is causing a growing crisis among the owners of the costliest conventional power stations, which are first to be squeezed off the grid by cheaper renewable output.
