Natural Gas and Nuclear Power have to be Part of RES

April 5, 2010

According to Hydrocarbon Processing "Developers of renewable energy projects in the US are against the idea of expanding the renewable energy standard (RES) in Congressional energy legislation to benefit natural gas and nuclear energy, saying it risks sinking the whole concept. Environment & Energy Daily (www.eenews.net) reports that the natural gas industry wants lawmakers to expand the RES to a "clean energy standard" that would allow utilities to count the emissions they eliminate by using gas instead of coal. Burning gas emits about half the greenhouse gases as burning coal. Some versions of the idea would also allow utilities to count emissions they reduce by using nuclear power. Environment & Energy Daily captured remarks from ConocoPhillips CEO Jim Mulva on the subject during the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. Mr. Mulva criticized the RES as too expensive, saying, "Why not instead implement clean energy standards? Then let renewable energy, natural gas, clean coal and nuclear power compete."
