Cost and employment impacts involved in the fuel cycles
of various energy technologies could not be compared on a
consistent basis needed for valid comparisons.
Findings/Conclusions: The following steps appear to be necessary
as ! starting point to initiate the dialogue in developing a
basis for analyzing the cost and employment impacts of energy
technologies on a consistent basis: (1) the energy technologies
should be analyzed on a basis providing energy for the same
level of end use; (2) total employment impacts should be
estimated for both the technologies ind the industries which
support them; (3) differences in investments required to
generate each job should be determined; and (4) differences in
the nature and duration of employment should be determined. The
following basic elements are necessary in order to perform this
analysis: (1) a framework for transforming a raw material into
consumable energy under each technology considered; (2) data on
the co: and employment requirements for each step of the
transformation; and (3) a common level of end use for the
technologies. Aside from providing a consistent basis for
comparing technologies independent of energy growth projections,
this framework makes it posible to distinguish between
short-term and long-term employment on a consistent basis. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacfl0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
