Are WindFuels better than CO2 sequestration?
WindFuels will be the quickest technology to stop the growth of coal power plants because of the strong stimulus WindFuels will provide to the growth of wind energy. The wind energy during periods of peak demand will go to the grid, and excess during off-peak periods would go to WindFuels. We have already seen that wind energy has nearly stopped the growth of coal in the U.S. and northern Europe. When WindFuels come online in any country, the growth of coal in that country will come to an abrupt end. The price of grid energy will even drop enough to begin shutting down the less efficient coal power plants. The wind resources are sufficient to enable this scenario in North America, China, Russia, Northern Europe, Northwestern Africa, Australia, Brazil, and some other countries. Sequestration at existing power plants will be very expensive. It would increase consumer power bills by 60-80% in many cases and dramatically reduce the efficiency and output of coal and natural gas power plants
