Simulation of a coal jet region. Multiphase refers to the process of changing a solid (in this case, coal) to a gas (syngas). The program allocates hours to large-scale, computationally-intensive research projects in a range of areas including fusion, climate, and materials. Image credit: Chris Guenther, NETL.

Climate Change. And while preventing working people earning a livelihood may make them feel good, it does nothing to solve the real problem of climate change. . Gas turbines are fairly flexible to switch on and off as wind varies, they’re relatively cheap, highly efficient and much lower in emissions than wood, coal or oil.

The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts. In that respect, beamed power from space is like nuclear fusion, except at least 25 years behind.

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. In short, it could do anything fossil fuels do now, but with substantially reduced climate impact.

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. Well, the cheapest source is from steam reformed fossil fuels, and that process produces CO2, especially when that fossil fuel is coal.

The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is arguably the most significant piece of climate legislation the United States has ever seen, including significant investments in clean energy and consumer incentives to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption. How the IRA will help tackle climate change.
