Carbon Sequestration Versus Fossil Fuel Substitution: Alternative Roles for Biomass in Coping With decreasing atmospheric CO. than sequestering carbon in trees. Some industrial restructuring would be required to bring about a major energy role for biomass. However, the prospect that electricity and liquid fuel from biomass could often be less costly than from coal and petroleum makes this strateg

Introduction to Respondents Panel on Current Analyses of Economic Costs,e to this group was five years ago on the costs and benefits of acid rain control. At that time, I’m pretty sure we thought no more contentious environmental issue could confront the Congress. We were wrong. What we’re discussing today—climate change—is much bigger. A lot of our earlier analytic and

We do have a long list of speakers, people from the World Bank, environmental organizations, the Administration, and industry, and all presumably are going to give us different views on how to address this problem.

Some, for example, William Nordhaus, think that it is possible to come up with net benefit calculations that are meaningful in policy discussions.. Others, such as Manne and Richels, emphasize how hard it is
