Environmental policies affecting the development of newer coal technologies

Milton Russell and Judith Greenwald

Energy, 1986, vol. 11, issue 11, 1301-1314

Abstract: This paper discusses some of the experiences we have had at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in searching for institutional fixes and technologies that simultaneously achieve our energy and environmental goals. It starts with some background information on coal production and its importance to our economy, and then examines the health and welfare effects of the air pollution resulting from the production and use of coal. Finally, it discusses the current and future technical and policy options for combatting these effects.
