How to Build a Green Hydrogen Economy for the US West

GreenTechMedia

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.

Biden’s proposed increase in solar power would remake the US electricity system

Renewable Energy World

The rest would come mostly from a mix of other low- or zero-carbon sources, including wind, nuclear, hydropower, biopower, geothermal and combustion turbines run on zero-carbon synthetic fuels such as hydrogen. One advantage solar power has over many other low-carbon technologies is that most of the U.S. power grid.

Global briefing: Biden and Trump trade climate barbs in final TV debate

Business Green

Trump also went on to make a series of bizarre claims about renewables and energy efficiency, arguing Biden wanted to construct new buildings "with little tiny windows" to drive down emissions, and that wind turbines were expensive, kill birds, and produce more emissions than fossil fuels such as gas power. browski explained.
