There are many arguments going on about the merits of the various sources of electricity. Most of the arguments in the media are carried out without the use of facts. I want to collect some real data on the subject. So I've chosen the six mature technologies for electricity generation. Please send me any figures or references based on actual current technology.
The questions is this; considering life time cost ie the total cost of construction, operation and disposal plus battery storage for wind and solar, what is the unit cost and C02 output for electricity generation from:
Coal
Gas
Oil
Solar
Wind
Nuclear
Any snippets will be gratefully received and will to go into a giant spreadsheet. I'll publish the results here.
Thanks
Stephen
