Abstract
⺠We model the growth potential of alternative electricity supply infrastructures. ⺠Coal is scalable and abundant but carries a heavy carbon footprint. ⺠Renewables and nuclear meet the longevity and environmental friendliness criteria. ⺠The low power density and intermittency of renewables limit their growth potential. ⺠Nuclear power continues to raise concerns about proliferation, safety, and waste.
