`This book is an excellent report on a very thorough analysis of
the full-cycle costs of different sources of electric power, with
due regard for externalities. It is a great credit to Fondazione
Eni Enrico Mattei.' - Kenneth Arrow, Stanford University, US This
book reports and rationalizes the state-of-the-art concerning the
social costs of electricity generation. Social costs are assessed
by adding to the private generation costs, the external costs
associated with damages to human health, the environment, crops,
materials, and those related to the consequences of climate change.
The authors consider the evolution of these costs up to 2030 for
major electricity generating technologies and, using these
estimates, evaluate policy options for external cost
internalization, providing quantitative scenarios by country and
primary fuel for 2010, 2020 and 2030. While mainly focusing on
European countries, the book also examines the situation in key
emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil and Turkey. With an
analysis of the policies for external costs internalization, this
invaluable book will appeal to energy policymakers, research
institutions focusing on energy, environmental and energy NGOs and
trade associations, as well as energy companies.
