This document summarizes a study that compares the sustainability of various electricity generation technologies using eight indicators: price, greenhouse gas emissions, efficiency, land use, water use, availability, limitations, and social impacts. The study finds that fossil fuels currently dominate global electricity production but have significant environmental and social costs. Renewable technologies like solar, wind, and hydro show potential but currently have low global market shares. The document also reports the results of a survey of Australian public attitudes toward different electricity sources, finding strong support for solar and wind but low acceptance of coal, biomass, and nuclear power.
