Electric power sector 2013
What can be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the electric power sector?
According to the IPCC, the electric power sector is the largest emitter of CO2 emissions, and accounts for nearly 27% of the carbon dioxide emitted by the world’s energy system. This contest seeks proposals for reducing emissions from the electricity sector, and it encompasses the industry’s entire value chain, from choice of fuel supply and power generation methods, to transmission and distribution. Proposals are encouraged to consider new component and system technologies, process changes, and novel approaches to policy, organizational practices and industry governance. See more...

Proposals
As in SO2 mitigation, spontaneously remove CO2 from power plant flue gas using wet limestone scrubbing.
Mass-producible integral fast reactor modules can power every country on earth for nearly a millennium with waste products already at hand.
Cheap, practical fusion may be closer than you think.
Nobody can afford solar panels. Or, everybody can, as long as there is community wholesale and a little bit of money pooling.
Rapidly deploy simple demand response technologies which do not require central approval or energy markets to create smart grid version 0.1.
Create a Carbon Fee and Dividend Policy
I would propose the production of cities on slopes which produce electrical power food and water in excess of its occupants requirements.
A modified electric motor advances is own field coil yielding fuel less electricity with zero Co2 emission
Countries implement a carbon dividend (fee, tax, etc.) which is also applied to the carbon footprint of their imported fuel and goods.
Replace all coal and oil electricity genergation with renewables and natural gas by 2025. Replace the natural gas with biomethane by 2040.

Energy Intensity Lowering - Makes the Earth less Carbon Emission.
Energy is Life Use it wisely
Today power wastage Tomorrow power shortage
AC power transmission is HUGELY inefficient and should be replaced by HVDC; Direct Current!
HVDC is at some 100 times more efficiënt!
Use the piezoelectric effect to harness vibration of cars on highways to generate electricity.
Eliminating vampire power (consumed by appliances that are allegedly "off", e.g. TVs) reduced my power consumption by about 12%, instantly.
A similar magnetic effect derived from a generator's output can be applied in reverse to compensate for the effect of counter-torque.
The people have over looked an alternative energy system. Our system is a pneumatic / electric generator , fuel less with zero Co2 emission
