Comment on What price to keep the wheels turning? by Mark Duffett

Nuclear and biomass power rely on transport to carry fuel, which in the case of biomass means keeping 10,000 tonnes of forest waste burning for each megawatt of electricity generated.

I’ll presume you meant ‘megawatt-years’, hence 10,000 tonnes of forest waste/megawatt/year.

You left out the bit about nuclear only needing 1 tonne per year. For 1000 MWyears, not one.
