Two types of pumped-storage hydropower; one doesn’t require a river. because of concern about hydropower’s impact on rivers. This is one-tenth of the water evaporated per person per day in the cooling systems of U.S. fossil fuel power stations. Pumped hydro storage is often overlooked in the U.S.

Activists won a string of local victories, passing municipal and regional laws to ban new and expanded fossil fuel developments. What was missing were government policies capable of shoving economic growth onto a track that required less energy from fossil fuels. Then the leaders fell short on follow-through.

Renewable solar and wind power now typically costs less than fossil-fuel alternatives. That’s looking more doable as renewable-energy prices drop, providing an alternative to fossil fuels. Electric heat pumps can replace furnaces and, despite their name, they can actually heat and cool. If not sooner.

The main causes include a lack of fuel for diesel power plants, technical difficulties, and low water levels at the dams where hydropower is produced. This year (2022), France has been struggling with a lack of cooling water for its nuclear power facilities due to an extremely dry period. The actual power gap now exceeds 8GW.

Their report revealed that by combining wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower sources, California could, theoretically, meet 100% of its electricity demand with WWS. Hydropower electricity produced in the Pacific Northwest would be imported to fill in the gaps. The fossil fuel divestment movement led by Bill McKibben’s 350.org

emissions electricity in place of fossil fuels is one of the most important drivers of emissions reductions in the NZE, accounting for around 20% of the total reduction achieved by 2050.”. The renewable share in electricity generation rises from 29% (including hydropower) in 2020 to over 60% in 2030 and nearly 90% by 2050.

The common energy sources are Hydropower, Biomass, Biofuels, Wind, Geothermal and Solar Energy. The use of renewable can be seen in day to day life basically in four areas electricity generation, air and water heating and cooling transportation and rural(off-grid) energy services. Ethanol and Biodiesel are the commonly used biofuels.

Are there opportunities to improve energy efficiency and upgrade lighting, insulation, heating and cooling? You will likely uncover opportunities for alternative clean energy (non-fossil fuel energy sources and processes). Examples include solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, wave power, nuclear and hydropower.
