That was going to be my next question.

Do we have anyone that's looked at energy production lifecycles like that?

And thank you for the response.

Not sure if anyone has studied it across different energy sources, but you might have better luck searching "generational improvements" or "efficiency over time" instead of energy production lifecycle. That sounds more like how much energy would be expected to be produced over the lifetime of the product.
