Give me some sense of the numbers of new coal fire generating plants.

If the end game is global warming, they're doing great.

So far there is only three sources of baseload electricity coal, some gas, nuclear and hydro.

If all of the electricity you used in your lifetime was nuclear, the amount of waste that would be added up would fit in a Coke can.

This photo shows an animal popping its head out at sunset off the coast of Florida.

Traditionally utilities build a lot of giant coal and nuclear plants and a bunch of big gas plants and maybe a little bit of efficiency renewables.

The large coal fired power station we're building at King's North, and of course the exciting news that only today, only this week, Britain's only manufacturer of wind turbines has been forced to close.

Because remember, this is what drives the prosperity in the developing world in the villages and in the cities.

Let's talk a little bit about how nuclear fission works.

The black color shows where earthquakes occurred in the past.

Should we allow the same mistake to happen again?

Iran is doing that right now.

All the world's photovoltaic solar panels generate as much electricity as two coal power plants.

Geologists scoured America.

Now you don't find several thousand targets in that area.

So what do such savings mean for the electricity that is three fifths used in motors?

Two terawatt hours, it's roughly half what the U.S. solar industry produced last year.

Nuclear power plants supply 20 of the nation's electricity.

Power plant.

The coal was glowing in the fire.

Secondly, think about this.

This has to be a bridge to the point where you can get to wind, to the point where you can get to solar, to the point where you can get to nuclear and hopefully you won't build the next nuclear plant on a beautiful seashore next to an earthquake fault.

We're often told though that only coal and nuclear plants can keep the lights on, because they're 24 7, whereas wind and solar power are variable, and hence supposedly unreliable.

Here is an atomic power plant.

Our government is going to put in six new nuclear power stations.

I ran like lightning.

I ran as fast as lightning.

Yeah? I'm at the Evanston power plant.

Coal is a fossil fuel.

The radioactivity leaked out of the nuclear power plant.

If we burn fuels such as coal, oil and gas, they give off various gases.

That happens to be the same amount of solar cell capacity that the world can now make every year a number that goes up 60 or 70 percent a year.

Here's a piece of coal.

It's an old power plant.

There is a power station.

The power plant, serrano point.

It's an electrical station that powers the island.

Especially people who have children, small children.

Well, according to the box the story is

Some sort of... power station.

When this happens, they're compressed under tons of pressure, and turned into carbon based fossil fuels

Yeah. I believe we don't really appreciate what we have, and I only speak for myself.

We have a three year environmental assessment process in Canada to build a nuclear reactor and we have a weekend to produce a coal plant.

Coal. Hint of silt.

This power station alone provides several cities with electricity.
