change the Clean Energy Landscape in a Post-Fossil Fuel world?
These 15 technologies are, briefly,  1. Higher Vehicle fuel
efficiency 2. Mass transit with high-density urban design 3.
More Efficient buildings 4. More Efficient baseload coal plants
5. Substitute natural Gas baseload power for coal 6. Capture CO2
at baseload power plant 7. Capture CO2 at a Hydrogen fuels
production plant 8. Capture CO2 at a coal-to-synfuels plant 9.
Substitute Nuclear power for coal power 10. Substitute Wind
power for coal power 11. Substitute Photo Voltaic power for coal
power 12. Use Wind power to produce Hydrogen fuels for vehicles
13. Substitute Biomass fuels for fossil fuels 14. Reduced
deforestation, and reforestation 15. Conservation tillage
(carbon-capturing agriculture) on croplands worldwide  Since
