| Summary: | Discusses energy efficiency and conservation in general; and examines uncertainties associated with carbon emissions abatement measures in electricity sector, including renewable wind and biomass power, nuclear power generation, advanced coal-fired power generation, carbon capture and sequestration, plug-in electric hybrid vehicles, and distributed energy resources. Discusses for each measure expectations for their potential in context of past experience, technical challenges, infrastructure requirements, critical uncertainty which may influence overall viability, and other factors that inform performance expectations. Considers implications of these uncertainties in context of Congressional issues and debate. |
