Explanation:
In response to a charge from Congress, the committee defined and evaluated key external costs and benefits associated with the production, distribution, and consumption of energy from various selected sources. We were asked to focus on health, environmental, security, and infrastructure effects that are not—or may not be—fully incorporated into the market price of energy or into government policies related to energy production, distribution, or consumption. The external effects of energy are mostly negative, but the overall benefits of U.S. energy systems to society are enormous. However, the estimation of those benefits, which are mostly reflected in energy prices and markets, was not in the committee’s charge.
The results of this study are intended to inform public policy choices, such as selecting among fuel types, or to help identify situations in which additional regulation may be warranted for reducing external costs produced by an energy-related activity. When sources with large aggregate damages are indentified, analysis of the costs and benefits of reducing the burdens resulting from those damages is warranted.
This chapter presents an overview of the results of the committee’s analyses. It provides factors to keep in mind when interpreting the results of the evaluations, overall conclusions, and recommendations for research to inform future consideration of various issues.
