  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Economic Analyses of Geothermal Energy Development in California Volume 1 Author: Ramachandran, G. Year: 1977 Results of a study on the evaluation of potential for geothermal energy development and utilization in California are reported. Volume I of the two-volume report deals with hydrothermal resource costs and economics in terms of various critical parameters pertaining to specific resource locations in California. The important economic factors that influence the development and growth of hydrothermal resources and the probable costs of a hot-water demonstration power plant are also considered. A set of near-term actions and their estimated impacts on hydrothermal resource economics are also discussed.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Economic Analyses of Geothermal Energy Development in California. Volume 2. Cost/ Benefit Analysis of Government Program Alternatives Regarding Hot Water Geothermal Power Author: Barrager, S.M. Year: 1977 Results of a study on the evaluation of potential for geothermal energy development and utilization in California are reported. This is Volume II of the two-volume report. The first four chapters of this volume present a generic analysis of several decisions facing government in the field of hydrothermal energy. The analysis develops a framework for estimating the potential overall benefits of hydrothermal power (detailed in Appendix A). Chapter V contains a site-specific analysis of the decision to fund a demonstration plant at Heber, California. This analysis is performed from the point of view of both the government and the local-electricity consumer. The specific numerical results presented are limited to electrical power generated by hot water systems. (JGB) Title: Economic Analyses of Geothermal Energy Development in California. Volume 2.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Alternate Energy Sources for Hawaii Author: Committee on Alternate Energy Sources for Hawaii Year: 1975 Hawaii has no short-term substitute for seaborne petroleum, although a number of renewable natural energy resources show enough potential to justify a state policy and state funding for their development. Of significant potential importance are bioconversion of Bagasse, wind, geothermal energy, solar collectors, ocean thermal energy conversion, and liquefaction and gasification of coal. Development of these sources will be influenced by environmental tradeoffs, available investment capital, and changes in demand for electricity. Task force recommendations include state funding of at least $1,000,000 for projects in all counties, with coordination at the state level to include continuing systems and tax studies and an annual review. Specific data on separate energy sources and conclusions of individual task forces are included.
