Energy Impacts
The costs of fossil fuels go far beyond the utility bill. Our energy use has wide-ranging consequences for our health, our atmosphere, our water, and our land.
UCS scientists are working to analyze the impacts of energy technologies—whether conventional sources like coal and other fossil fuels or renewable sources like biomass—so that we can find the right mix.
In this section, learn about the effects of energy technologies on the environment, and the ways we can best use them to meet our energy needs.
