With the power industry anticipating greatly increased generating capacity requirements in the 1990s, political controversy over electricity demand and supply is likely to return to-and perhaps surpass-the level of rancor experienced during the 70s. Fortunately, a sizable number of utility companies have come to believe that destructive confrontation can be avoided through early public involvement in facility planning as well as in the making of broader corporate policy. This book brings together, under joint sponsorship of the American Planning Association and the Edison Electric Institute, an extensive collection of articles, proceedings, case studies, and other relevant accounts of the state of the art.
