Coal and natural gas are mainly used for electricity generation, whereas oil is used mostly to power transportation, yet the prices of all these energy sources are linked.

煤炭和天然气主要用于发电，而石油主要用于给运输提供能量，但所有这些能源的价格是相互关联的。

The resulting estimate for wind speed in a particular location can then be converted into an estimate of electricity generation using a power curve, based on the capabilities of specific turbines.

通过建立在特定涡轮机上的功率曲线，这种特定位置风速的预估结果，就可以被转化成电流产生量的评估值。

Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of CO2.

就算你家的房子是用电采暖，电能产生的过程也是释放二氧化碳的。

Figure 2 shows that electricity net generation from coal-fired power plants declined by an estimated 25 percent between 2007 and 2012.

In the UK, during 2012, electricity generation from coal-fired power stations actually increased to almost 40% of total production, as the price of gas soared, and gas-fired electricity generation was reduced.
