FUEL FROM THE SKY: SOLAR POWER’S POTENTIAL FOR WESTERN ENERGY SUPPLY A great advantage of geothermal power plants is that they can operate like a conventional steam plant. But geothermal power plants also face challenges. For example, the geothermal resources often show effects of depletion. The Geysers, an area of California that has some of the largest geothermal generating capacity, can only generate half the power that it could originally. Further, in some instances, geothermal steam contains pollutants that can escape into the air. In this study we make no attempt to estimate the geothermal generating potential for various reasons. First, we could not locate a reliable data base on geothermal resources. Second, the energy that can be obtained from a resource is largely unknown until after the resource is explored. Third, modern directional drilling and rock cracking techniques developed by the oil industry now allow for a much better resource extraction than in the past. However, these drilling techniques have not been used with geothermal resources to date and thus their effectiveness cannot be judged at this point. In summary, geothermal power is an excellent source of renewable energy, and it is likely that the resource base will increase the more intensely we look for geothermal steam. However, cost reductions for geothermal plants below what has been historically experienced are not expected. Biomass Wood, grass, or dung is the source of fuel for billions of people around the world, mostly in devel- oping nations. Nevertheless, compared to the energy required to fuel the U.S. economy and our way of life, the amount of energy that can be derived from biomass is likely to be small. Especially in the West, limited water resources are a problem for biomass. Further, unless biomass is avail- able as agricultural or forestry waste products, it is also unlikely to be cost-effective without perma- nent subsidies. Also, while biomass generation is “carbon neutral” with regard to the Kyoto Protocol, it still produces emissions that can cause local air pollution, including regional haze. Nevertheless, in some cases, biomass production can benefit farmers and the forest industry. Grass can be co-fired in coal-fired power plants, producing revenues for farmers, and sawdust from wood processing plants can provide cogeneration opportunities. Nevertheless, these are niche applications and the amount of electricity that can be generated by biomass will be small compared to other sources of energy. Nuclear “Nuclear power” has become a term that describes the generation of energy by nuclear fission, in which a chain nuclear reaction with uranium is used to generate heat. But a different, and promising future technology, is nuclear fusion, in which energy is released when hydrogen is “fused” into helium. This process, the same one that provides the sun’s energy, also results in the release of enormous amounts of heat. 126PDF Image | Solar Fuel From The Sky
