Electricity from nuclear has 5 and 10 times lower carbon footprint than that of wind and solar energy, respectively

Vattenfall has carried out new LCA analysis showing that the total emission of greenhouse gases from nuclear is 2.5 g CO2 equivalent per generated kWh while the corresponding value for windproduced electricity is 13 g CO2 equivalent per generated kWh. The value for solar energy is 25 g CO2 equivalent per generated kWh.

Thus, nuclear power generates by far the lowest carbon footprint.
