In the US, 25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from electricity generation. This is not surprising, with coal and natural gas representing about 60% of electrical supply. Here’s how: Firstly, having more renewable energy sources can increase the demand for green energy. Have you read?

Even without extreme weather events, the power grid needs love. The grid was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s with a 35- to 80-year life expectancy , meaning much of it should have been retired and replaced by now. Make the grid smarter and more flexible. America’s energy infrastructure scored a C-minus on the U.S.

They use electricity to power lights, refrigerators and electronic devices. And they consume fossil fuels such as natural gas or propane to power furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. That persistent reliance on fossil fuels makes buildings one of the largest sources of planet-warming pollution.

Because there’s no indication that the companies responsible for 86% of the world’s carbon dioxide pollution took notice or broken stride at all. But you wouldn’t know it from the way the fossil fuel industry has responded. It apparently served his purpose to spin a different story. I would have thought we were already far past that point.

Hydrogen can be made in a number of ways – some of which are more polluting than others. Not only is this a high expense but expansion of renewable energy generation won’t be able to keep up with the switch from fossil fuels, additional demand of electric vehicles and additional demand of hydrogen production,” Roberts says.

Out in Utah, a coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to Los Angeles is being outfitted with natural-gas-fired turbines that will eventually be able to run on hydrogen, created via electrolysis with wind and solar power and stored in massive underground caverns for use when that clean energy isn’t available for the grid.

Consumers need new options for less wasteful and less pollutive products, packaging, transportation, and energy. State mandates and consumer choice have sparked a demand for clean and green energy. Wind power turbines and home battery systems might have a little more industry wiggle room. Clean Energy. Sustainable Agriculture.

In Whitby, the 2,000 residents in the proposed trial area would have the choice to continue using natural gas or switch to hydrogen for heating. NGN has said that although it will use ‘predominantly’ green hydrogen, it cannot rule out using other, more polluting sources of hydrogen “from time to time”.

Link Research indicates gas stoves are a significant contributor to indoor air pollution.

Biden, whose is touting a plan for 'a 100 per cent clean energy economy and net zero emissions no later than 2050' as part of his presidential bid, last night promised to transition the US away from oil towards renewable energy by cutting subsidies "because the oil industry pollutes significantly". browski explained.
