When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

The value allocated here in EPA’s goal-setting formula was an average heat rate improvement of 6% for coal steam electric generating units (EGUs). EPA is proposing a BSER goal approach referred to as Option 1 and taking comment on a second approach (Option 2). the remainder from other sources, including wind and solar.

These 9 combinations became the reference scenarios with defined fuel requirements and GHG emissions. The reference case scenarios assume no change to GHG intensity from current levels. In the climate-targeted scenarios, they assumed that electrified vehicles receive their electricity from an 80% decarbonized electricity grid.

The accelerating buildout of solar farms on Earth is already hitting speed bumps, including public pushback against the large tracts of land required and a ballooning backlog of requests for new transmission lines and grid connections. In that respect, beamed power from space is like nuclear fusion, except at least 25 years behind.

Auerbach adds that due to economies of scale and over capacity in the industry “ wind energy should have a 20% reduction in equipment costs within the next year ” and he has seen realistic projections of “ solar, with a 10% tax credit, being competitive with baseline generation in 2020 ”.

Plug-in hybrids are cars which may be driven typically between 10 and 40 miles on battery power (recharged at home or at a charging station) before the engine (often referred to as a range extender) starts to ‘top up’ the battery.

But when people talk about payback, they refer only to the net dollars to the driver. A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant.
