The resource scarcity indicators concerning fossil fuels may also attest to the potential benefits of more nuclear power. Yet transparency (reliability) and data availability (in the case of resources-to-production ratio) are moderate. High price risk regarding fossil fuels and carbon might emphasise the role of nuclear power in certain portfolios of generating assets to the extent that nuclear mitigates the volatility of the average generating cost for the whole portfolio.
