Coastal effects of offshore energy systems: an assessment of oil and gas systems, deep water ports, and nuclear power plants off the coast of New Jersey and Delaware

Book ·
OSTI ID:7319973
The report presents OTA's analysis of the probable onshore impacts of implementing one or a combination of the three technologies studied off the coast of New Jersey and Delaware. Specifically, it (1) delineates the possible actions Congress may want to consider in future legislation and oversight dealing with offshore oil and gas, deepwater ports, and floating nuclear power plants; (2) analyze past and future government actions in preparing for the three technologies off New Jersey and Delaware; (3) presents the possible economic, political, social, institutional, and legal impacts of implementing the technologies; and (4) reviews the alternatives to the technologies or the implications of not implementing the technologies in the study area. This assessment was the first major undertaking by OTA to include a large-scale public participation program. The public participation element was an effort to bring about an exchange of information between OTA and citizens in the study region. This transmittal includes two volumes: the assessment report itself and working papers which are back-up material for the findings and discussions in the assessment report. (MCW)
