Mathis, R

This study investigates Arizona's current energy sources, alternatives, and the present status of technology in generating electrical power. While quantitative measures of resources are not available in all cases, the study does describe the requirements and conversion technologies for generating electrical power. Factors such as: (1) source availability; (2) investment required to develop alternative energy; (3) applicability to residential, commercial and industrial sectors; (4) net energy effect; (5) technology status; (6) environmental effect; (7) water supply requirements; (8) plant siting requirements; (9) economic/social impact and employment demands, were considered in seeking energy alternatives, from synfuels, biomass, solar, geothermal, chemicals, and wind.
