is lost.
The results of the combination power plant project were very promising. They
showed that on a small scale optimal coverage of most energy needs is possible
(Figure 4.15). The desired reliability of energy supply was achieved. Therefore,
there is no convincing argument why renewable energies cannot be used to cover
all energy supply requirements using this approach in the near future.
