The book focuses on those renewable sources that show the most promise for initial commercial deployment within 10 years and will lead to a substantial impact on the U.S. energy system. A quantitative characterization of technologies, this book lays out expectations of costs, performance, and impacts, as well as barriers and research and development needs. In addition to a principal focus on renewable energy technologies for power generation, the book addresses the challenges of incorporating such technologies into the power grid, as well as potential improvements in the national electricity grid that could enable better and more extensive utilization of wind, solar-thermal, solar photovoltaics, and other renewable technologies."--Publisher's description. 410 0$aAmerica's energy future series. 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zUnited States 606 $aElectric power production$zUnited States 606 $aPower resources 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aElectric power production 615 0$aPower resources. 676 $a333.794 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Electricity from Renewable Resources. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814019803321 996 $aElectricity from renewable resources$94063721 997 $aUNINA
