Coal-Fueled Electricity Generation: Fleet Outlook, Potential Changes & Impact of

Description: Coal-Fueled Electricity Generation by Chad B. Loomis, Jill A. Naylor Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book examines the use of coal as a key domestic fuel source and an important contributor to the U.S. economy. Most coal produced in the United States is used to generate electricity. In 2011, 1,387 coal-fuelled electricity generating units produced about 42 percent of the nations electricity. After decades of growth, U.S. coal production and consumption have fallen, primarily due to declines in the use of coal to generate electricity. According to the EPA, using coal to generate electricity is associated with health and environmental concerns such as emissions of sulphur dioxide, a pollutant linked to respiratory illnesses, and carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change. In response to recent environmental regulations and changing market conditions, such as the recent decrease in the price of natural gas, power companies may retire some units, which could affect the coal fleets generating capacity and the amount of electricity generated from coal.
