fossil fuel
Potential for worldwide displacement of fossil-fuel electricity by nuclear energy in three decades based on extrapolation of regional deployment data.
... Much recent attention has been given to the potential of, and constraints on, renewable en- ergy [4]. Here we take a different tack, by making use of historical data from the Swedish nucle- ar program to model the ...
