More Health and Environmental Information

This material is for those who understand energy basics, and want to become even more knowledgeable about these topics. Since there is so much material to cover, we’ve divided it into three categories, based on the topics that would be a part of a genuine scientific assessment: TechnicalEconomic and Environmental.

Remember that this is just a small sampling of energy related environmental articles! If you can’t find the Environmental information you’re interested in here, go to one of the sources listed on our Current News page and do a specific search in their archives for what you are looking for. [Note: for simplicity sake we are including human health impacts under the Environmental category.]
