However, base load refers to the minimum amount of demand on an electrical grid over a given period of time, not a minimum level of constant supply. There are five countries in the world that run on 100 percent wind-water-solar (WWS) alone with zero batteries, zero nuclear, and zero fossil fuels. 100 percent WWS,” he said.

utility can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while still keeping natural gas as a central part of its business, both to generate electricity and to sell to its customers. That includes a recommitment to reaching its 2030 goal of reducing carbon emissions below 50 percent of their 2007 levels, potentially ahead of schedule.

Half an hour's drive from Reykjavik, several racks of giant fans are erected on billboard-sized metal blocks, primed and ready to suck carbon dioxide from the cold Icelandic air. Mimicking a carbon storage process that happens in nature, Carbfix's technology mixes captured CO2 with warm water and then injects it deep underground.

“Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. Most of this energy is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which releases a mass amount of carbon dioxide into the environment.

You may count me among those who want to see society move beyond fossil fuels. We all know there are negative consequences associated with fossil fuel usage, such as the emission of carbon dioxide and various other pollutants. Most people drastically underestimate our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels.

A sudden collapse of the industry - called a carbon crunch - could lead to economic disaster of epic proportions. The time is therefore now to plan an orderly wind-down of fossil fuel assets and manage the impact on the global economy rather than try to sustain the unsustainable. This may prove to be terminal. Money is gone.
