Biomass (along with hydropower) can be used to smooth the fluctuations inherent to wind and solar.

Harvests may halve and rivers on which irrigation and hydropower depend may become a mere trickle.

Western Washington is a region of the United States defined as that part of Washington west of the Cascade Mountains.

In that connection, we should adopt adequate safeguards to counteract the cascade effect with a view to its eventual elimination.

Colombia has hydropower potential amounting to 25,000 MW and potential from other renewables amounting to 1,200 MW.

As we stated in the annex to document A 59 856 on the cascade effect , Costa Rica believes that it is necessary to seriously examine that issue, as any extension of the cascade effect could potentially affect the sense of collective ownership which necessarily underlies the United Nations.

The addition of permanent members would also have significant and adverse indirect consequences through what is known as the cascade effect.

Chinese capital is behind several large scale investments in hydropower, mining, timber, agriculture, transportation, and infrastructure in the region.

With its industry now dominating the global hydropower equipment market, China has also emerged as the largest dam builder overseas.

Actually hydropower accounts for less than 12 percent of total electricity production in Egypt in 2010 (14 out of 121 billion kWh), so that a temporary reduction of 25 percent in hydropower production translates into an overall temporary reduction in Egyptian electricity production of less than 3 percent.

Then as now, such breakthroughs generate a cascade of learning and innovation as suppliers, contractors. and customers adapt to a new way of operating.

For many Parties the most important renewable option is the extension of their hydropower programmes, mainly through additional small scale hydro projects.

It is enough to mention the words Vatican and bank in the same sentence to start a cascade of jokes about comic opera ineptness and skullduggery.

As I scrolled through my WeChat moments in the taxi, I was inundated by a cascade of online commentary, some of it with ultra nationalistic overtones.

They must be revitalized to ensure continued progress on disarmament and to address the growing risk of a cascade of proliferation, especially in the nuclear field.

These problems are exacerbated by the forestry industry and big infrastructure like wind parks or hydropower that cut off reindeer herding routes and pastures.

a In the context of Renewables 2004, renewable energy sources and technologies include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy including biofuels, and geothermal energy.

Five classical groups of opsins are involved in vision, mediating the conversion of a photon of light into an electrochemical signal, the first step in the visual transduction cascade.

The document on the cascade effect (A 59 856, annex), submitted by Costa Rica, calls attention to the representation of the five permanent members throughout the United Nations system.

Fifthly, the addition of new permanent members would create a cascade effect within the United Nations system, adversely affecting the fair and equitable distribution of membership in other bodies.

Globally, however, solar and wind are only a small part of total renewables less than 7 in 2010. Hydropower is a much bigger player, at 17 .

In 2006, out of a total electricity production of 139 TWh, electricity from hydropower accounted for 61 TWh (44 ), and nuclear power delivered 65 TWh (47 ).
