Abstract | This report aims to energize discussion of direct electrical options and encourage full investigation of the potentials for electricity to carry the demands of the energy future. The central question addressed by this study is how to leverage limited renewable electrical generation resources for maximum environmental benefit, in particular for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning that are the leading global warming gas. At the core of this consideration is whether renewable resources are best employed to replace petroleum vehicle fuels with electrolytic hydrogen or to supplant coal- and gas-generated electrical power. |
