Abstract:The amount of power generated in the U.S. from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines that will be required in order to replace the amount of power generated from fossil fuels, bio fuels, and nuclear fission is analyzed. The relatively small capacity factors of solar PV and wind generation are not ideal. However, increased efficiency due to switching from equipment such as gas furnaces and internal combustion engine vehicles to electric heat pumps and battery electric vehicles helps to lessen the amo… Show more
