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:
“We shall do better to abandon the whole attempt to learn the truth ... unless we can trust to the human mind’s having such a power of guessing right that before very many hypotheses shall have been tried, intelligent guessing may be expected to lead us to one which will support all tests, leaving the vast majority of possible hypotheses unexamined.”
—Charles S. Pierce (1839–1914)
