External Environmental Costs of Electric Power: Analysis and Internalization, (Paperback)

Quantified and monetized environmental costs of energy have been receiving substantial attention since 1988. The pressing environmental problems from acid rain through global warming to nuclear accidents have lead to an increasing willingness to include such costs in energy planning and pricing. The book, reporting on the first international workshop on this matter, gives a comprehensive picture of the latest research in the filed and the different approaches to the practical implementation of these results.
