Paradoxes of western energy development: how can we maintain the land and the people if we develop
- eds.
The 27 authors of this book evaluate western energy resources, then discuss the consequences of development on the region's physical and social environments. Among the questions they consider are the distribution of environmental costs and economic benefits of development; the effects on the environment, the social structure, and the quality of life; whether open spaces should be regarded as a national treasure in their present form or as space available for development; the unique demands of reclamation in the arid west; and the impact of new federal and state policies on resource management, given the recent trend of western states-rights militancy and population shifts to the southwest. Separate abstracts were prepared for 12 papers selected for the Energy Data Base (EDB) and Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis (EAPA). Two papers were processed earlier.
