The massive shale gas resource in America, coupled with the high-efficiency and low emissions of modern gas power plants, gives us a handy solution to future power needs.
CHP, or cogeneration, is not a single technology but rather a suite of technologies that can be mixed and matched in many ways to provide high-efficiency, low-emissions source of heat and power from a single process.
Because of their low cost structure, tax efficiency and ability to access hard-to-reach areas of the market, investors have taken a strong liking to these vehicles.
Or, if you think that the marginal utility of taxpayer income and the efficiency cost of taxing are both very low, consider the opportunity cost of government spending.
National will also look to trim what it regards as low-priority spending and improve the efficiency of ministries.
And, although the authors report relatively low efficiency so far, in the context of someone who does not have any banked sperm to fall back on, these odds are probably very encouraging to make this kind of approach worthwhile.
In an earlier report, the Royal Academy of Engineering had mapped out the scale of the task involved in moving to a low-carbon electricity supply - with a mix of energy efficiency, renewables, nuclear and clean coal.
Overall efficiency of the system is extremely low currently, thanks to a low concentration of those photon-catching structures, but individually they capture about 40 percent of the light's energy, meaning a higher concentration could make for very hearty soup indeed.

Other CIGS makers have run into trouble trying translate the high efficiency and low cost promised by small lab samples of CIGS into large sheets of high-quality, durable and uniform thin films.
It also involves the deployment of low concentrating solar technology at a new scale, providing an indication of more such projects and efficiency improvements to come as solar energy marches towards grid parity.

"Our current system can create some serious work disincentives, particularly at low and high ends of the income distribution, so the potential efficiency gains are pretty clear, " Justin Ross, Professor of Public Finance at Indiana University, told the BBC.
The firm is well run only by the low standards of the auction business, and there is room for further efficiency improvements.
Factor in the Kepler architecture's great efficiency and low thermal design power and the GTX 660 Ti assures gamers of having the most stable, quiet and power-efficient gaming experience possible in its price class.

Rattner explained that the new architecture is based on more than a decade's worth of research to invent a family of silicon-based photonic devices, including lasers, modulators and detectors using low-cost silicon to fully integrate photonic devices of unprecedented speed and energy efficiency.

Part of the program's intent is to get vehicles with low fuel efficiency off the road.
CNN: 'Cash for clunkers' buyers agree: Credit came at perfect time
Girl Scouts of the USA is on our least-efficient list primarily because its fundraising efficiency is low.
Another team from a public high school in one of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Philadelphia successfully created a low carbon emissions and ultra-high efficiency alternative fuel vehicle which competed against collegiate and corporate teams.
