According to the Mackinac Center press release the report ranks energy sources by ranking eight key energy resource types "Based on their ability to meet growing demand for affordable, reliable, and clean energy generation".
The report concludes that "Natural gas and nuclear power lead the rest of the class in generating clean and affordable energy".
If an energy source performed poorly, it received a 1, if it performed well, it received a 10.
The energy source was given a final letter grade of A to F based on its score out of 50.
As governments around the nation attempt to impose a transition from traditional energy resources to energy sources often referred to as renewables, natural gas is the energy source that is best suited to integrate with the intermittency inherent in the use of wind and solar.
Gas provides a reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean source of energy in both traditional and "Carbon-constrained" applications.
The market feasibility scoring considered "Whether the energy source relies on free-market forces to supply energy to the public." I do not believe that wind and solar could survive without massive subsidies so believe this scoring is appropriate.
