Politics of energy: Astoria No. 6, a case study of energy-environmental cleavages within New York City. Working paper
The possible impact of areawide residential location policy on future residential electricity usage in the Tri-State Metropolitan Region centering on New York City is investigated. This report focuses on the politics of energy in its discussion of Con Edison's attempt to expand the generating capacity of its Astoria Plant in Queens in 1969. Examined in detail are the orientation and strategies employed by the major public and private participants: Con Edison, New York City--the Mayor, Environmental Protection Administration, Interdepartmental Committee on Public Utilities, Economic Development Administration, elected officials, and interest groups. Major characteristics of the decision-making process illuminated by the Astoria controversy are summarized.
