Estimating Environmental Costs and Benefits for Five Generating Resources. Technical Appendices. Description of Generic Generating Resources, Their Likely Significant Environmental Effects, and the Economic Value of Those Effects. Final Report

摘要

This study estimates the value of the significant environmental effects likely to accompany the development of five types of electricity-generating resources: cogeneration from biomass, cogeneration from municipal solid waste, geothermal, solar, and wind. These technical appendices contain a glossary; methods of evaluation; quantification and evaluation of significant effects; current and future populations for northwest counties containing potential energy resources; calculation of environmental effects; and description of environmental effects and their significance.
