The Truth About Cars

Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks. Though the hope is that there will come future technologies allowing humanity to isolate the chemical element in clean, efficient ways. That makes it incredibly energy inefficient and results in a lot of extra pollution.

In Germany, renewable electricity generation will be 35 percent by 2020, and 50 percent by 2050. Or an RPS program that is non-voluntary with a common goal and timing objective such as those found in China, Germany or France? The market would focus, consolidate and find some very innovative ways to produce low-cost clean energy.

Significant cost reductions can be achieved by front-loading the deployment of renewables, mainly wind and solar photovoltaic, and by utilizing the technologies needed to balance their inherent intermittency, such as energy storage and thermal balancing power plants.

We know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21 st century. We invented solar technology, but we’ve fallen behind countries like Germany and Japan in producing it. It begins with energy. And yet, it is China that has launched the largest effort in history to make their economy energy efficient.

The council recommended: Allowing more access to oil, natural gas and coal opportunities on federal lands. The Council said it believes the US needs policies that encourage private companies to invest in R&D and the deployment of new power generation technologies such as wind, solar, advanced nuclear and coal gasification.

It is clean and flexible. This is particularly true in the electric power sector, where, in the US, natural gas sets the cost benchmark against which other clean power sources must compete to remove the marginal ton of CO 2. Support for methanol fueling infrastructure should also be considered.

In the end, the laws of thermodynamics will win. Hype doesn’t stand a chance against reality in the long term. The $39 trillion in annual profits is up for grabs, and the fossil fuel industry is fighting hard to keep as much of it as possible, or at least delay its loss as long as possible.

Now, after decades of false starts and overly optimistic projections, several factors are giving an unprecedented lift to clean hydrogen. China, the world’s largest producer of hydrogen at upwards of 25 million tonnes a year, derives 62 percent of its total from coal, which creates 18 to 20 kg of CO 2 per kg of hydrogen.

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal. In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1%
