A6 - Question about Fuel Criteria

Question:
When we sat down yesterday to discuss out criteria we mentioned fuel as one of them. How would you apply this outside of the operational cost? I believe this should be applied under operational costs because to operate the system needs fuel whether its geothermal, water, electricity, or gas with the exception of wind scoops and passive solar. What is your opinion on keep this as a seperate criteria instead of combining it with operational costs?
 
Response:
I'd argue that in at least some circumstances the availability of a particular fuel may be different, although obviously cost is often closely linked.  It's your call whether or not to separate it.
