Abstract
⺠This study compares the benefits of wind energy with natural gas. ⺠The Altamont Pass windfarm will avoid $560 million to $4.38 billion in externalities. ⺠The Sawtooth wind farm will produce about $18 million to $104 million in human health and climate benefits. ⺠Natural gas prices rise by 1.5-11.8 cents/kWh if they include the cost of such externalities.
