Abstract


The report represents the data on the impact of various energy sources on indicators that effect global climate change: greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint for the creation and operation of power plants using various fuels (coal, gas), nuclear, wind, solar and hydroelectric power stations. The advantages of using atomic energy are shown. It is environmental like along with solar and wind energy. It is nuclear and thermonuclear reactions to the sun and within the core of the earth, and, as a consequence, solar radiation, are primary environmental-like resources. Quantitative indicators of the mass of sources use of a complete carbon footprint, as well as data on abiotic depletion of resources, the potential of global warming for various types of gas fuel, coal, nuclear, hydro, solar and wind energy are given for the first time. The advantages of a combination of gas generation with nuclear at the prospect of using gas hydrates, as well as RES and atomic energy are shown.
