摘要
Fossil-fueled power plants for electricity generation are a major source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). These plants can be replaced effectively by nuclear power, hydroelectricity and other less significant options such as biomass, hydrogen, wind and solar power. Among the replacement options, nuclear power is unpopular for various reasons. Hydrogen must be produced from either natural gas or electrolysis, and might be a significant source of GHGs. Other options do not allow the massive replacement of fossil-fueled power plants.
