This book reports and rationalizes the state of the art concerning
the social costs of electricity generation. Social costs are assessed by
adding  to the private generation costs, the external costs related  to
damages to human health, the environment, crops, materials, and  those
related to the consequences of climate change. The authors consider the
evolution of these costs up to 2030 for major electricity generating
technologies and, using these estimates, evaluate policy options for
external cost internalization and provide quantitative scenarios, by
country and primary fuel, for 2010, 2020 and 2030. While mainly focusing
on European countries, the book also examines the situation in key
emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil and Turkey.
