Hydro dams can be reversed and pump water uphill so that the next day, when gravity pulls the water back down, the turbines spin to make electricity.
But this only fanned the flames of discontent among Social Democratic supporters, who worry that the nuclear phase-out will simply make electricity costlier and jobs even scarcer.
ArcelorMittal Steel USA is finding an uncommon way to beat the competition: It is cutting energy consumption at one of its steel plants in Chicago by re-using heat to make electricity.
The plant will be one of the largest solar projects in the country and the first to store heat on a large scale so that it can continue to make electricity after sunset.
It is needed to make plastics, to fly planes, to propel construction equipment and to turn generators to make electricity that keeps the lights on and your computer humming in your home or office.
Natural gas emits half as much carbon dioxide as coal when used to make electricity, though the calculation fails to take into account the release of methane from natural-gas wells and pipelines, which also contributes to climate change.
WSJ: Rise in U.S. Gas Production Fuels Unexpected Plunge in Emissions
The rest amounted to little more than extensions and expansions of current policy that would have to be approved by Congress, including doubling the tax credit for producers who make electricity from wind, biomass and landfill methane, the Gore campaign said.
Secondly, when considering end-to-end efficiency, it is much less energy-intensive to heat water by direct use of natural gas on-site, rather than by using that natural gas to first make electricity that is used to heat water because of the large conversion losses at power plants.
But what matters to the customer is the cost of the electricity--an inefficient panel that's cheap enough will make cheaper electricity than an efficient expensive one.
Engineers have been puzzling over how to make better electricity storing devices since the dawn of electricity.
His job, simply put, is to make sure electricity gets from the generation stations to the homes, stores, and factories that use it.
