A state-of-the-art integrated coal gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plant, Tampa Electric’s Polk Power Station produces enough electricity to serve 75,000 homes...Polk Unit One is located on unmined land surrounded by former phosphate mining land to the east, and a berm developed as a cooling reservoir to the south. The design of the cooling reservior maximizes plant water recycling while minimizing groundwater withdrawal and offsite discharges...The 260-megawatt IGCC facility began commercial operation in the fall of 1996. Construction on Polk Unit Two began in 1998 and Unit Three in 1999. These two 180-megawatt simple cycle combustion turbines use natural gas and distillate oil to generate electricity. Unit Two and Unit Three started commercial operation in July 2000 and May 2002 respectively. Polk Units four and five, two 160-megawatt (MW) units were completed in April 2007. The two new simple-cycle peaking units use natural gas to generate electricity.

If you think the world should be powered by renewables, here's the bad news: we have a long way to go. The main pie chart shows the percentage of US energy (not world energy) supplied by different fuels, including renewables (the small green slice). The bar chart on the right breaks the renewables up further.
It's amazing that the Sun supplies virtually all of Earth's energy, one way or another, yet only 1% of the 7% that's renewable (or 0.07% of the total) comes from solar power.
This chart is from our article on renewable energy.
It's based on 2008 figures and redrawn from US: Energy Information Administration, Office of Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate Fuels, US Department of Energy, published 2010.

Washington DC, November 15 2016. A diverse crowd of around three thousand fired up activists variously affiliated with over a hundred different groups gathered in front of offices occupied by the Army Corps Of Engineers (and other agencies including the GAO...) for a rally and march to protect the midwestern plains water and land that rightfully belongs in perpetuity to Native American people. A core group of speakers travelled here from the Dakotas to lead the action. There is some slim hope that President Obama can be persuaded in the waning days of his presidency to refuse 'right of way' on Federal lands for the Dakota Access Pipeline. There was a sad, poignant vibe to the event because the DAPL poisonous snake will almost certainly be 'fast tracked' by the incoming Trump administration. President Elect Donald J. Trump is an investor in the pipeline. The company largely responsible for the pipeline project is headed by a very rich Texan folk music enthusiast/opportunist/OK guitar player who seems to have little understanding of what most folk musicians are trying to express.

We marched to BP Refinery strongly for Nayaano-nibiimaang Gichigamiin: The Great Lakes (The Five Freshwater Seas)
These tar sands poses catastrophic health risks to our Mother Earth, people and our wild rice water sheds and homelands as well as our sacred Anishinaabewi-gichigami: Lake Superior (Anishinaabe’s Sea)
We marched and sang along for:
Ininwewi-gichigami: Lake Michigan (Illinois’ Sea) where BP Refinery with their fracked Bakken tanks have invaded with their toxicity greed putting our sacred Gichigamiin at risk for pollution. Our 7th Generations will depend on this water, and clean air to survive. It's our duty to save our children's future. A path we must choose...for our survival.
Our message is clear, "You can't drink oil, no water no life." #LoveWaterNotOil

3D Rendering of NETL's Multi Cell Array (MCA). NETL has developed a unique test platform, called the multi-cell array (MCA), to rapidly test multiple fuel cells and determine how they degrade when contaminants exist in the fuel stream, such as might occur when using syngas from a coal gasifier.

Today, the most promising geologic formations under consideration for CO2 storage are active and depleted oil and gas formations, deep saline formations, and deep, unmineable coal seams. To better understand these formations, researchers at the High-Pressure Immersion and Reactive Transport Laboratory in Albany are studying subsurface systems.

The Consumers Energy Whiting Generating Complex is located on an 875-acre site along the Lake Erie shoreline in Erie, Mich. Whiting began producing electricity in 1952. It became the first power plant in the state to win the Clean Corporate Citizen (C3) designation from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in 1998. For more details, visit the J.R. Whiting Generating Complex.
The Consumers Energy Cobb plant is located on a 300-acre site beside Muskegon Lake where its waters meet the Muskegon River. It was dedicated on April 28, 1949, and is named for Bernard Capen “Burt” Cobb, a former company president from 1915-34. Find more information at B.C. Cobb Generating Complex.
Greenpeace USA activists sailed out on the San Francisco Bay with a message for Congress and the oil industry. The activists displayed a banner reading “Oil Is Over, The Future Is Up to You” next to the Amazon Falcon one of dozens of crude oil tankers stuck off the California coast as the oil industry grinds to a halt. This action comes as Congress begins negotiations on the next COVID-19 stimulus package, and as the oil industry unleashes a lobbying frenzy in hopes of securing taxpayer dollars to prop up its obsolete business model.
The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates flies by Glacier National Park near Babb, Montana on August 4, 2014. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the Western United States.
