As electricity demand increases, policymakers must make decisions about which energy resources will meet future demands. Much of the recent literature has focused on the contribution of new coal power plants to carbon emissions (Milford et al., 2005; Milford et al., 2007; MIT 2007). However, policymakers and industry are increasingly interested in job creation and economic development analyses to understand the full impacts of new electricity generation projects.1 Additionally, economic development impacts are often a critical piece in building public support for wind power projects. The purpose of this research is to look at the specific factors that drive wind-power-related economic development and to better understand...
Climate change influences the water balance of drainage basins in several ways. In a project of the International Commission for the Hydrology of the Rhine basin the possible consequences for the discharge regime of the Rhine are investigated. In the first phase of this project detailed models have been developed and applied for selected sub-basins and a simple water balance model has been developed for the whole Rhine basin. Results are presented for climate scenarios assuming an increase in temperature of about 3~ and an increase in annual precipitation. The consequences of such a climate change are largest in the Alpine part of the Rhine basin, and are also considerable in other parts of the basin and for the...
