The graphic above shows suitability of sites for advanced coal power plants using geologic storage for carbon emissions.
In addition to nukes, OR-SAGE also examines advanced coal with carbon capture and storage, solar and compressed air energy power plants.
Only coal plants with carbon capture and storage will, in effect, be allowed, although this technology is unproven on a large scale.
Hunterston was ear-marked as a site for a potential coal-fired carbon capture and storage (CCS) power station to replace the current facility.
The scheme named the Captain Clean Energy Project, would see the creation of a new 570MW "low emission" coal power station with CO2 pumped into storage in offshore depleted gas fields.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change said the development of CCS technology, if developed at scale, could allow the safe removal and storage of harmful carbon emissions from coal and gas plants.
By 2050, 82% of our energy should come from sources including renewable energy and low-carbon coal, achieved through the use of carbon capture and storage.
They include a new sea port at Hambantota, in the president's constituency in the south, an oil-storage facility, a new airport, a coal-fired power plant and an expressway.
ECONOMIST: Brotherly love, massive aid and no questions asked
There must be no Western help to build coal-fired power stations in Africa without carbon capture and storage, he said.
He said that by 2020, all new coal-fired power stations must be fitted with "carbon capture and storage".
For coal, oil or natural gas, about two to three months of annual deliveries are in storage at any given time.
FORBES: Big Data Unleashes the Electric Equivalent of a Free Keystone Pipeline
So today I'm announcing a Carbon Capture and Storage Task Force that will be charged with the goal of figuring out how we can deploy affordable clean coal technology on a widespread scale within 10 years.
