(A) <think> that they will, or could,
(B) <think> that they would, or could,
(C) <think> they will be or could
(D) think that they will be or could
(E) think <that> the power stations would or could
A/B/C miss the parallel verb for 'view': 'think'.
E is using the past tense of 'will': 'would'.

I will (Learn. Recognize. Apply)
