摘要: Abstract We compare the cost of maintaining a proposed subsidy for New York's three upstate nuclear power plants with replacing renewable technologies from 2016 to 2050. Keeping operating until 2050 is most expensive option, costing $32.4 billion (2014 USD) over that period in base business as usual case. The least option shut down today and replace it onshore wind, saving $7.9 billion. All analyzed scenarios lead 20.1 27.4 Mt CO2 greater life-cycle emission reductions. In addition, re-investing savings into additional wind increase up 32.5 Mt.
