An Unattainable Wedge: Four Limiting Effects On The Expansion Of Nuclear Power, Tanya K. Mortensen
Tanya K Mortensen
With a cap and trade system likely imminent, concerns about the costs of generating electricity and how electrical generators can best mitigate the effects of a carbon trade system are resurfacing. As a result, interests in nuclear power are resurging world-wide. Although, the purpose of this paper is aimed at national decision making, the problems and processes that confront decision makers internationally are effectively the same as those confronting decision makers in the United States.
