Wind, solar, energy storage, and transmission provide the vast majority of new capacity additions, which demonstrates that these technologies play a significant and growing role in maintaining grid reliability in the future. Importantly, though, overall use of that gas capacity dramatically declines over time.

No other planet in our solar system has sparked the human imagination more than Mars. While modern science has debunked the Red Planet as a likely source of an alien invasion, today’s technology is bringing us closer to a crewed mission. The main source of power for some NASA Mars rovers comes from a multipanel solar array.

These amazing facts really shouldn’t amaze us because we often see efficiency gains when we transition from one technology to another. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) use about 70 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, the oldest technology. Powering electric cars requires both the generation and distribution of electric energy.

The amount that the Senate has proposed diverting from the RGGI fund for FY 2017 is more than 80% of the total value of RGGI auction proceeds earned by New York in FY 2016 (which totaled approximately $166 million ). Clearly, the diversion of RGGI proceeds to the general budget and for workforce development is at odds with these requirements.

The rest of our power comes from a mix of nuclear power, renewables like hydro, wind and solar power, and biofuel. Why go for gas when renewables like wind and solar, and the battery storage technology that makes them reliable, are now the cheapest source of new electricity generation in Canada ?
