While electricity from batteries can propel automotives, electrification is not yet viable for trucking, ships, and planes. In aviation, sustainable fuel made via biomass fermentation could become an alternative to conventional and synthetic kerosene; its use could r...
To help economize on oil, smaller, more fuel-efficient cars began to be imported from Japan and Europe. In some places, oil was being burned to generate electricity; this electricity could sometimes be replaced by electricity from nuclear power plants. In the 1980s, added debt became more imp...
A single large power plant can generate enough electricity (about 2 gigawatts, 2,000 megawatts, or 2,000,000,000 watts) to supply a couple of hundred thousand homes, and that's the same amount of power you could make with about 1000 large wind turbines working flat out....
“When I look at why this has not been done before, it has very little to do with the technology,” says Tartakovsky. “It has everything to do with the regulatory framework.” Many existing regulations, advocates say, simply never contemplated the potential for...
How we generate our electricity We'reBritain's biggest generator of zero carbon electricity(1), generating zero carbon electricity fromwind+nuclear+solar. We've never been busier helping cut UK carbon emissions to nothing By generating zero carbon electricity fromwind,nuclearandsolarwe can power ...
How can China reach carbon neutrality before 2060? Planners point out that China must first begin to generate most of its electricity from zero-emission sources and then expand usage of this clean power wherever possible, for ex...
