Finding a Place for Energy: Siting Coal Conversion Facilities. Resource Publications in Geography.

The process of identifyingi licensing, and developing energy facility sites for the conversion -of coal into more useful, forms is the focus of this book; intended for_geography students, professors; and researchers. The use ofdomestic coal resources-will ameliorate_U;S; dependency_on imported fuel. However, because coal is a bulky; dirty fuel_requiring more effort than most people accustomed to automated central heating systems -are willing to expend; coal conversioh_is a virtual necessity. Chapter 1-discusses problems in energy fedility_titing._The impacts of coal conversion are examined in the second chapter._ Specifically discussed are the components of coal conversion facilities: coal-fired power plants; coal: liquefaction plants, and coal gasification plants; best-fit location planning; coal resource transportation systems; and the distribution of impacts._ Chapter 3 -looks at permits and approvals; The distinctibn between centralized and decentralized energy development strategies is the focus of the fourth chapter; How industrial location modelt canserve an important purpose in energy facility siting is_discussed in the fifth chapter; Chapter 6 examines how to analyze siting_ _ Options using site screening methodsand-spatial allocation_ models. Citizen involvement is also:discussed; Adjusting patternS Of development and regional shifts in energy supply are the topics of the concluding chapter. A bibliography is provided.
