RE and nuclear #22

Open SarahEI-UT opened 8 years ago

SarahEI-UT commented 8 years ago

somehow need to show that solar/hydro/wind net zero emissions but + generation and can factor in to New generation within a projected likely range (established by EPA); and these are used as a function in calculating each state goal; e.g. using a dial/gear/fuel gauge type slider e.g: http://jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgauge/index.htm#demos/jqxgauge/gauge-value.htm or with user ability to control where the Dial ends up: http://www.jqueryscript.net/other/jQuery-Plugin-To-Generate-Animated-Dynamic-Gauges-dynameter.html

But nuclear power generation does Not factor in to the RE incremental calc (my guess is because 1-all aspects of NP are already highly regulated, 2- the NP technology is not amenable to incremental changes in e-gen portfolio; those of you who are in the NP field could help me understand this better!) Thus we can at least put a note of some sort (after verifying if this is true of course) that while NP does not factor into attaining emissions goals directly, it May be a critical component of reducing demand from other emitting sources, depending on each state's infrastructure.
