Outline of data	Life Cycle Analysis, focused on energy, is useful for comparing net energy yields from different methods of electricity generation. Nuclear power shows up very well as a net provider of energy, and only hydro electricity is closely comparable. External costs, evaluated as part of life cycle assessment, strongly favour nuclear over coal-fired generation. Energy Return on (energy) Investment is a way of measuring relative inputs and outputs.
