Impact of sustained economic growth on the U.S. power market
Description
The author adduces facts and figures to show that in 1987 the US economy was booming, and a strong market for new power supplies existed. Because of the higher capital cost of both coal and nuclear stations as compared with gas-powered sources, the new demand was being met largely by natural gas. The author contends that this tendency will result in increasing vulnerability to gas prices, and that Canadian electricity exports to the US will become increasingly important. Some paradoxes in US energy policy are indicated
