Abstract

Electricity generation is one of the world’s most significant sources of air pollution. In the USA, for example, electricity generation accounted for 79 per cent of SO2 emissions and 64 per cent of NO2 emissions in 1998 (USEPA, 1998) and 35 per cent of CO2 emissions in 1994 (USEIA, 1996). In addition, different electricity generation technologies can have a wide range of other environmental impacts including water pollution, radiation, flooding, visual intrusion and so on.
