Most previous cap and trade programs have distributed emission allowances for free to incumbent producers. However, in the electricity sector the value of CO[subscript 2] allowances may be far in excess of costs to industry and giving them away to firms diverts allowance value from other purposes. Using a detailed simulation model, this paper…

A sampling plan is devised for monitoring air pollution emissions from a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant. (Author/BB)

This is the third, concluding, part of an article on the Greater Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP). It focuses on the hydrologic and hydraulic studies which controlled the sizing of tunnels, storage reservoirs and pumping stations, and on the resulting pumping station and reservoir. (BB)

It appears that a variety of biological organisms, including man, are sensitive to both long and short-term exposure to the extra low frequency electric and magnetic fields produced by high voltage lines. (BB)

Solutions are offered for some of the common problems operators and managers of small water utilities are having with regard to the Safe Drinking Water Act. (BB)

A year after the accident at Three Mile Island (TMI), the signals transmitted to the public are still confused. Industry says that nuclear power is safe and that the aftermath of TMI ushers in a new era of safety. Antinuclear activists say TMI sounded nuclear power's death knell. (Author/RE)

Tighter federal air pollution control standards for new coal-burning electric power plants have been issued. Through use of air pollution control devices all types of coal will be useable under the new standards. Even stricter standards may be imposed where visibility may be affected in areas now enjoying very clean air. (RE)

Estimates of energy demand in the future must be approached with caution; however, evidence strongly suggests that future energy demand is by no means predetermined and that low-demand futures are quite feasible both technically and economically. (Author/RE)

Discussed are the technical, economic and environmental feasibilities of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) as a generating source of electricity. (BT)

Detailed are the history, development, and future objectives of the Coriolis program, a project designed to place large turbine units in the Florida Current that would generate large amounts of electric power. (BT)

In order to adequately assess the impact of power plant cooling water intake on an aquatic ecosystem, total ecosystem effects must be considered, rather than merely numbers of impinged or entrained organisms. (Author/RE)
