Electricity

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero …

Low-CCS 1 shows that, in contrast to solar and wind electricity costs, which have been falling systematically for many decades, unabated coal- and gas-fired electricity costs have been relatively stable. Solar and wind are now the cheapest form of new-build electricity generation in most places on the planet. In addition addition to the basic costs of coal- and gas- fired electricity, fossil power with CCS requires extra capital
