...to install solar panel capability, the amount of energy required to build, install and maintain the solar panels is around 5 times less than the energy which will be extracted from their use. In other words you will get 5 times more energy out of the systems than was required to build and install them so if a commercial solar panel plant requires 10 MJoules in energy to create, it will only produce 50 MJ in its lifetime on average. With traditional nuclear power, you will extract more than 20 times more energy than was required to build and install the system. Using the ultra low energy centrifuge enrichment process at URENCO, this number can increase to as well over 50. Only hydro power (from damming up rivers) has a number as high as 50 for commercial power generation with wind energy falling behind that.
