As we go through each one, we discuss Safety, Sustainability (Long Term Availability of Fuel). Can renewables alone power the world? Efficiency / Cost (Energy Efficiency, Conversion Efficiency, Operational Costs), Environmental Impacts, real estate (Mining Footprint, Plant Footprint), and Consistency (Energy Source, Load Following). If you enjoy this episode come back for the next one on nuclear energy.
