Problem
- Electricity generating plants produce more than 1/3 of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the USA.
- Many new power plants use gas turbine engines that produce 29,000 horsepower and cost $10.4 million.
- Very expensive to build, run and maintain.
- They still burn fossil fuels and emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. If they burn natural gas, they still emit tons of CO₂.
