Abstract

Industry's inability to reduce logic gates' energy consumption is slowing growth in an important part of the worldwide economy. Some scientists argue that alternative approaches could greatly reduce energy consumption. Lastly, these approaches entail myriad technical and political issues.

New York Marcellus Shale: Industry boom put on hold

Miscellaneous Mercurio, Angelique

Key catalysts for Marcellus Shale drilling in New York were identified. New York remains the only state in the nation with a legislative moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing, as regulators and state lawmakers work to balance the advantages of potential economic benefits while protecting public drinking water resources and the environment. New York is being particularly careful to work on implementing sufficiently strict regulations to mitigate the environmental impacts Pennsylvania has already seen, such as methane gas releases, fracturing fluid releases, flowback water and brine controls, and total dissolved solids discharges. In addition to economic and environmental lessons learned, themore »« less

U.S. Billion-Ton Update: Biomass Supply for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry

Technical Report Downing, Mark ; Eaton, Laurence M ; Graham, Robin Lambert ; ...

The report, Biomass as Feedstock for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry: The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply (generally referred to as the Billion-Ton Study or 2005 BTS), was an estimate of 'potential' biomass based on numerous assumptions about current and future inventory, production capacity, availability, and technology. The analysis was made to determine if conterminous U.S. agriculture and forestry resources had the capability to produce at least one billion dry tons of sustainable biomass annually to displace 30% or more of the nation's present petroleum consumption. An effort was made to use conservative estimates to assure confidence inmore »« less

Atoms for Peace After 50 Years: The New Challenges and Opportunities

Technical Report Schock, R N

This report draws on a series of international workshops held to mark the fiftieth anniversary of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace address before the United Nations General Assembly. A half-century after President Eisenhower's landmark speech, the world is vastly different, but mankind still faces the challenge he identified--gaining the benefits of nuclear technology in a way that limits the risks to security. Fifty years after Eisenhower declared that the people of the world should be ''armed with the significant facts of today's existence,'' the consequences of his bold vision should be evaluated to provide a foundation upon whichmore »« less

Boundaries of analysis: an inquiry into the Tocks Island Dam controversy

Book Feiveson, H A ; Sinden, F W ; Socolow, R H

This is a study of what happens to technical analyses in the real world of politics. The Tocks Island Dam project proposed construction of a dam on the Delaware River at Tocks Island, five miles north of the Delaware Water Gap. Planned and developed in the early 1960's, it was initially considered a model of water resource planning. But it soon became the target of an extended controversy involving a tangle of interconnected concerns - floods and droughts, energy, growth, congestion, recreation, and the uprooting of people and communities. Numerous participants - economists, scientists, planners, technologists, bureaucrats and environmentalists -more »« less
Third Generation Flywheels for electric storage

Technical Report Ricci, Michael, R. ; Fiske, O James

Electricity is critical to our economy, but growth in demand has saturated the power grid causing instability and blackouts. The economic penalty due to lost productivity in the US exceeds $100 billion per year. Opposition to new transmission lines and power plants, environmental restrictions, and an expected $100 billion grid upgrade cost have slowed system improvements. Flywheel electricity storage could provide a more economical, environmentally benign alternative and slash economic losses if units could be scaled up in a cost effective manner to much larger power and capacity than the present maximum of a few hundred kW and a fewmore »« less
