Tyler, you might want to stop that guy from posting any more on this site. Lookat at the style and grammar of the above post… that’s Kit P, the infamous energy troll from The Energy Blog!

I do not see a need to go back repeat the study. It is important to talk about performance. Both the coal and nuclear industries report huge reductions in ghg by improving actual performance. Very few PV systems provided performance data like the Tucson Electric Power’s (TEP) Springerville, AZ field PV plant. The purpose of a LCA to allow decision makers to make informed choices.

All of the information I could find seemed to be years out of date, and didn't take into account the current and (reasonable) projected advances in solar and nuclear energy production. Most of the info on solar I've seen talks about efficiencies and manufacturing technologies that were common in the 80's, and most of the info on nuclear plants is stuck on the idea that you need to use heavily enriched uranium in a traditional inefficient setup. Is it too much to ask for research to be updated every 30 years? I just want some recent information. How hard is that?:( I was just wondering this the other day.
