The study found that subsidising geothermal technology initially would help to bring down costs rapidly as UK sites were developed The UK could meet a fifth of its power needs - the equivalent of nine nuclear power stations - by exploiting geothermal power, a new report into the technology has found.

Better forecasting of where the wind is blowing could allow British fossil fuel power stations to be switched off and counter critics' claims that wind power is too intermittent.

Carbon capture

shared by Simon Harrison on 05 Jun 12 - No Cached

Simon Harrison on 05 Jun 12

What is carbon capture and storage? The technology is designed to prevent the carbon dioxide exhaust from the burning of coal and gas from entering the atmosphere and driving further climate change. It does this by either stripping the CO2 from the smokestacks of conventional power stations, or by burning the fuel in special ways to produce exhausts of pure CO2.
