Low-carbon power comes from processes or technologies that, at the point of generation, release less carbon dioxide than the traditional means of power generation. It includes zero carbon power generation sources, such as wind power, solar power, geothermal power and, including fuel preparation and decommissioning, nuclear power, as well as sources with slightly lower-level emissions than Coal, such as natural gas. These power-generation techniques emit significantly less carbon dioxide than a traditional fossil fuel power plant.

Famous quotes containing the word power:
“The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society, depend so much upon an upright and skilful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
