ARPA-E requests innovative proposals which can overcome these challenges through the utilization of metabolic engineering and synthetic biological approaches for the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide to liquid transportation fuels. Coal-fired power plants currently generate approximately 50% of the electricity in the United States.

Since its first funding opportunity announcement in April 2009, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy) has received scores of promising ideas for the next generation of energy technologies. However, ARPA-E can only fund a fraction of these promising ideas at the levels required.

THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. I know these them, I lived in Japan I know these people, I’ve sat and had conversations with them. And at sub $3 you’re cheaper than coal. And people have no idea what’s coming with coal and what that’s going to cost them in electric bills.

There was nobody in their right mind who thought that that would ever become competitive with gas and coal sitting at around $35/KWh and $50/KWh. It is tempting to say, “Let’s go back to the old days and fire up the gas and coal plants.” No one believed that the learning rates in solar or batteries, for example, could be sustained.

So people that have looked even at storing CO 2 at the bottom of the ocean, which we kind of moved away from that idea now. Because a lot of it now is still using coal and natural gas, but we have kind of a path towards carbon-neutral energy using nuclear power plants, renewable energies, of course. Witte: I think so.

Caroline Reichert, an RWE spokeswoman, noted that the idea here is to ensure that "a car can be recharged in Italy in exactly the same way as in Denmark, Germany or France." The "normal plug" idea doesnt neccessarily work dude. That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean.

Coal deposits—the fossilized remains of plants—were formed during a 60-million year period from around 360 to 300 million years ago. Instead of accumulating as peat, which eventually was transformed into coal, the great bulk of plant biomass decayed and was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Space-based solar power is an idea so beautiful, so tantalizing that some argue it is a wish worth fulfilling. Ideas to put megawatt-scale systems in GEO sometime in the 2030s have been floated but not yet funded. To space enthusiasts, that raises an obvious question: Why not stick solar power plants where the sun always shines?
