By 2013 one AP1000 will be pumping out electricity and 20 to 30 will be under construction, mostly in China.
Electricity can be produced by wind, sunlight, biomass or nuclear reactors, and cars can be powered by biofuels and electricity.

As well, construction costs for LNG and coal-fired plants to be able to generate this additional electricity would be substantial.
Even though I explained my situation to the bank, I was told I only had weeks before the house would be foreclosed on and our electricity and water would be cut off.
Without these firms, hydrocarbons would largely stay in the ground or locked in the sea-bed, heavy manufacturing would be difficult to impossible, electricity and communications would be more episodic and primitive, and the list goes on.
In addition to drawing electricity, plugged-in cars would also be able to send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid as needed, acting like tiny power plants.
Now EDF Renewable energy is planning a new wind-solar project in the region that will be designed as a hybrid from the start and the electricity will be sold to a utility under a single power purchase agreement, according to Tholke.

Electric cars, however, have had more attention from carmakers, and they could be powered by electricity from relatively cleaner natural gas.
ECONOMIST: What bigger estimates of America��s reserves could mean
We're pressing on with battery research for plug-in hybrid vehicles that can be powered by electricity from a wall socket, instead of gasoline.
Solar power may be cheaper than electricity generated by fossil fuels and nuclear reactors within three to five years because of innovations, said Mark M.
FORBES: GE: Solar Power Will Cost Less Than Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Power in Five Years
By the end of 2012, the island of El Hierro will be the first electricity-sufficient island territory in the world relying entirely on renewable energy sources.
To send power miles away without huge line losses demanded that electricity be stepped up to a high voltage, then stepped down again at the receiving end.
With only the genetic material from the person to be cloned inside the shell of the egg, the cell would be jolted with electricity to activate cell division.
It requires that electricity be used to create the motion that is recaptured through regeneration from the relative weights and positions of the elevator vehicle and the counterweight.
Since this is an investment that must be repaid by electricity consumers, it is crucial that they receive an increase in the quality of service commensurate with the cost.
WSJ: Should Utilities Be Required to Bury Power Lines to Protect Them?
Another impact of U.S. unconventional oil and gas development will be increased in electricity demand (occurring more dramatically in various localized pockets), directly resulting from investment in waves one and two.
Opened in 1871, Souter was the first lighthouse in the world designed and built to be powered by electricity, with its foghorn kept in working condition by a dedicated team of local volunteers.
The same cannot necessarily be said for electricity.

According to the ECF, more than 50% of the plants that will be providing the world with electricity in 2020 have yet to be built.
The 84 million kWh combined solar power will be added to the 40 million kWh of electricity that will be produced by an onsite biogas-powered 5-megawatt fuel cell installation for a total of 124 million kWh of clean onsite power.
Magic figures it will take 57 cars, discharging 17.5 kilowatts of electricity each, to provide a megawatt of power, the minimum unit to be traded in the electricity market.
