Wind, solar, energy storage, and transmission provide the vast majority of new capacity additions, which demonstrates that these technologies play a significant and growing role in maintaining grid reliability in the future. Importantly, though, overall use of that gas capacity dramatically declines over time.

These amazing facts really shouldn’t amaze us because we often see efficiency gains when we transition from one technology to another. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) use about 70 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, the oldest technology. Electric energy generation by renewable sources has doubled since 2008.

As detailed in the RGGI investment plan , these funds are typically used to support energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in New York State. Most of the carbon allowances are auctioned and the proceeds of those auctions are typically used to promote energy conservation and renewable energy programs.

Japan, a long-time supporter of nuclear power, now has serious hydrogen ambitions. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be powered by hydrogen. The Tokyo Olympics will be powered by a fuel with ambition – hydrogen. The Tokyo Olympics will be powered by a fuel with ambition – hydrogen. Iceland also has geothermal energy.

Advocates of renewable energy have argued since the 1970s that the variable, weather-dependent nature of sunlight and wind is a modest obstacle at best to relying on 100 percent renewables. Some have argued that weather-dependent energies would, paradoxically, make electricity even more reliable.

4] Meanwhile, many experts see in recent trends an inevitable transition away from coal and nuclear power plants, designed to function as baseload capacity, toward variable renewable energy sources with just-in-time natural gas back-up. 7] Nuclear plants are among the most reliable components of America’s power grids.
