Only nuclear power generation, which does not emit carbon dioxide, is available now as a large-scale alternative.
Hydroelectricity represents a large-scale alternative to fossil fuel generation, contributing only very small amounts to greenhouse gas emissions and other atmospheric pollutants.
Zhao Xiaoyong, the vice general manager at GS Solar, a thin-film solar panel producer based in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, said that while solar panel prices were falling 5 to 10 percent a year, they were still not low enough to offer a large-scale alternative to electricity from the grid during power shortages like the one expected this summer.
He added: "We believe that tidal lagoons are a viable, large scale alternative to traditional fossil fuel and nuclear electricity production.
The campus' image as a home to youth-oriented concerts began to change a little more than two years ago, when, on short notice, administrators rescinded permission for a large-scale alternative-rock festival dubbed "Board in O.C". The festival moved to Cal State Dominguez Hills in Carson, which continues to host big punk and alternative-rock shows at its Olympic Velodrome.
Right now, it is a challenge to produce and distribute new energy sources like this on a large scale, but alternative fuels hold great promise.
QD skeleton has been introduced as a 'privileged template' to be a consequence of fragment-based drug discovery approaches (FDDA) that have already been penetrated into both pharmaceutical industry and academia on a large scale as an alternative methodology instead of combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening (HTS) techniques [9].
This study presents a large scale analysis of alternative splicing profiles in the rice genome.
Future studies that show the effectiveness of ART would justify its implementation on a large scale as a viable alternative to the status quo.
In the likely event that U.S. forces are not allowed to launch a large scale offensive from contiguous territory, the alternative would be forced entry from the Persian Gulf.
Monoclonal antibodies are expensive to manufacture on a large scale, and plants offer an attractive alternative for generating biologically active, inexpensive versions of these much needed pharmaceuticals.
