Why Clean Energy?
Typical coal fired power plant block diagram and operations. A coal fired power plant provides a good example of where man's CO2 emissions
come from. Coal fired power plants produce millions of tons of CO2 waste each year which goes directly into the atmosphere.
The pictures left represent two different nuclear power plant technologies. The far left picture is Three Mile Island found in the
Eastern United States, while the one on the right is Chernobyl located in the former Soviet Republic. Nuclear power is free of CO2
during operation, but not mining the uranium ore. The other down side of nuclear power is the great risk to humanity when things go
wrong and that the spent fuel can be used for weapons of mass destruction.
The United States produces 1,580 million metric tons of CO2 emitted in 2007, REF Scientific American Earth 3, Jan 2009,
Volume 18, Number 5, 2008.
PEP's technology concept combines’ clean Solar energy along with a clean energy
storage method to produce ZERO Carbon Free (CO2) Electricity.
