Generation and distribution are large capital expenditures while the engineering, fuel and maintenance all add up.
For plants that don't report emissions, the site relies on industry sources, precise engineering and fuel specifications and statistical models, to estimate CO2 releases.
The hybrid cars built by Toyota and Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ) save fuel and are marvelous engineering exercises, but you don't want to drive on those skinny tires in the Snow Belt, believe me.
Medis is also working with Flextronics to manufacture power converters and with Eastman Kodak on design engineering for the fuel production line.

Jim Fletcher, a mechanical engineering doctoral student in fuel cell technology, said the bus is 10 percent more efficient than comparable diesel buses -- a first step in what researchers expect will one day be a far more efficient form of transportation.
Some 130 million are used as fuel, and 53 million go into civil engineering projects.
The company provides contract engineering services and test equipment for fuel cell developers.
Improving fuel economy is possible with lighter materials and better engineering.
Lilliputian's engineering miracle was in designing a tiny solid-oxide fuel cell that instead of melting everything in its vicinity is merely warm to the touch.
Ask any engineering executive at any car company: In order to meet new and ambitious fuel-economy standards in the global markets including a U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard of 54.5 mpg by 2025 cars and trucks of the near future will have to exploit the advantages of electric drive (low rpm torque, low-speed efficiency, regenerative braking) in urban driving, while reserving the gasoline-fired engine for times of peak load and sustained demand.
"The good news for customers is that they not only have more choice, but they have faster access to Ford's latest and greatest in fuel-saving technologies and vehicles, " said Joe Bakaj, Ford vice president of Powertrain Engineering.
ENGADGET: Ford underscores its love of electric cars, spends $135 million to make them happen
Some of these developers are established engineering and construction firms in the power plant business, or they are owners of fossil fuel power plants.
