A Dynamic Model of the US Energy System: A Tool For Energy R & D Planning

A Dynamic Model of the US Energy System: A Tool For Energy R & D Planning Originally published in 1984, this book develops a quantitative model designed for use in the evaluation of the relative merits of alternative energy R amp;D programmes in the USA during the 1970s: liquid-metal fast breeder reactors, synthetic fuels derived from coal and oil shale and improved efficiency in end-use technologies. The benefits/disadvantages are analyzed in terms of economics, security and the environment. Although published some years ago, the economic benefit nbsp;assessed is nbsp;in terms of the impact that commercialization of a particular energy-technology would have on the total 60 year cost of the US energy supply system. All of these issues continue to be relevant today. Autor: John P.
