Description

Feature Request

Right now, fuel costs for natural gas are pulled from the EIA. However, all other fuel costs use the standard values found in the technology-data download. This data is mostly based on European data. The NREL ATB will provide fuel costs for Biopower and Uranium that we should pull in.

Suggested Solution

Much of the logic is already there to build the fuel costs core_metric_parameter key. It is mostly just mapping the values over in add_electricity.py
