| The objective of this study is to develop a robust and sustainable energy (electricity) path for Long Island. Waste water management and solid municipal waste have been incorporated into a MARKAL energy-planning model for the short through long term (50 years) planning horizons. In addition, an analysis of the impacts on the local scale, of a carbon tax has been carried out. By examining the Long Island MARKAL the nexus of sustainability and environmental justice is elucidated. Suggestions for examining, testing, and improving sustainability plans are also provided. |
