Resolving the energy crisis: nuclear or photovoltaics?
Source abstract
Abstract
The discussion on future sources of energy is heating up, particularly regarding the roles of nuclear and renewable resources. Using photovoltaics alone, we show that, despite claims to the contrary, renewable resources are capable of replacing the contribution from nuclear energy.
