Mængden af affald fra forskellige typer elproduktion

Hannah Ritchie har lavet en interessant gennemgang af mængden (og typerne) af affald fra elproduktion via kul, vind, sol og atomkraft:

I have calculated how much waste would be generated per megawatt-hour of electricity generation for solar, wind, nuclear, and coal.

The results are shown in the chart. Coal generates 50 times as much as solar; more than 500 times as much as wind; and more than 2700-times as much as nuclear.
