Complexity of solar purchase power agreements and the cost competitiveness of solar energy in various regions of the world are impacting the pace at which we can add solar capacity. This agreement also eliminates the use of coal, saves money and reduces GHG emissions by 57,000 metric tons.
Cars That Think

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.
Revenge of the Electric Car

From the article: ‘The New York study anticipates that by 2015, electric vehicle prices should decline because of reduced battery costs, that there will be a sufficient supply of electric vehicles to purchase, and that consumers will take advantage of the existing federal tax credit of $7,500 for new electric cars. On Volt and Leaf.

The standard unit of electrical power is the watt, which is defined as a current of one ampere, at a voltage of one volt. More simply, volts x amps = watts. In the UK, the standard wall socket delivers 240 volts. Your power comes from the grid as 240 Volts AC. Again at the time of purchase we knew none of this.

In some locations, grid-scale peaking applications have already been implemented, often in old coal power plants, re-using the building and grid connections. The best strategy for exploration stage companies coming into this field is to: Raise capital for land purchases and drilling.

Chevrolet next year will introduce the Volt, a plug-in hybrid electric car. The Volt runs on an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, but also has an onboard gasoline-powered charging system to help extend the cars range when a charging station isnt available.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. On the face of it, this experiment would suggest that the all-electric car, which does have a greater electric range, contributed 400 more e-miles than the Volt.
