Journal Article
TL;DR: Parker Ranch uses the largest hybrid solar panel and wind turbine system in the world to power its pumps as discussed by the authors, which is used during the day and wind turbines throughout the night to produce a constant, reliable source of power.
Abstract: Hawaii's Parker Ranch uses the largest hybrid solar panel and wind turbine system in the world to power its pumps. Solar panels are used during the day and wind turbines throughout the night to produce a constant, reliable source of power. Etude technico-economique de l'installation hybride de production d'electricite, a l'aide de panneaux solaires le jour et d'aerogenerateurs la nuit, pour alimenter la ferme d'elevage, Parker ranch, a Hawai.

Journal Article
TL;DR: The Seward power plant in Pennsylvania was the first coal-fired power plant to be built in the state in 20 years as discussed by the authors, which will help to solve a long-running environmental issue -the removal of large piles of reject coal.
Abstract: When Reliant Energy broke ground in 2001 for the $800 million 584 MW Seward power plant in Pennsylvania, it not only began construction of the first major coal-fired power plant to be built in the state in 20 years, but also one which will help to solve a long-running environmental issue - the removal of large piles of reject coal.

Journal Article
TL;DR: In spite of its ability to reduce landfilling, environmental groups remain sceptical towards waste-to-energy technology such as that used by Sydkraft in Sweden as mentioned in this paper, despite the fact that producing power through waste burning is on the increase in Europe.
Abstract: Encouraged by legislation, producing power through waste burning is on the increase in Europe. But in spite of its ability to reduce landfilling, environmental groups remain sceptical towards waste to energy technology such as that used by Sydkraft in Sweden.
