Abstract
What is the comparative cost of achieving carbon emissions reductions in the Western Interconnect via growth in variable energy resources versus meeting incremental demand by either coal-fired or natural gas-fired generation? An analysis suggests that more emissions are mitigated with the use of VERs, but the cost of achieving those reductions is significantly higher.
