Why Study Electricity Fuels?
We do not have an unlimited supply of coal, uranium, or natural gas, and all of those methods for producing electricity can cause significant environmental damage. How can we provide electricity for a growing market without devastating environmental impacts? Our group members have provided several alternatives to current electricity production methods, and we are investigating the feasibility of implementing them on a nationwide scale. Our alternative processes are: carbon sequestration from coal-fired power plants, solar energy, wind energy, and wave energy.
