Some countries have opted out of nuclear power in light of concerns about safety and other issues. But its cost is competitive with other electricity generation technologies, including new solar and wind projects, and can lead to a more secure, less disruptive energy transition. If other low-carbon sources—i.e.,

However, although the state has made considerable progress decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the rate of emissions decline appears to be slowing, due in part to a spike in transportation emissions attributed to an increase from light-duty vehicles. But the effects of these efforts seem to be reaching a plateau.

Operation with natural gas or biomethane makes the compact model economical and more climate-friendly with low emissions. With this fuel, driving is nearly climate-neutral. The synthetic fuel is produced at the power-to-gas plant in Werlte from water and carbon dioxide using electricity generated by wind power.
