Abstract |
This analyzes the energy resources in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming and presents data on the potential for these resources to provide a share of the total national energy demand. Analyses in the following seven principle areas are presented: (1) Status of current development; (2) Energy use forecasts by region, state, sector and source; (3) Energy conservation; (4) Coal gasification and coal liquidfaction; (5) Transportation of energy from the region; (6) Electrical generation; (7) Status of technology; and (8) Future alternated energy sources. Data are also presented on three alternative hypothetical rates of coal development; minimum, intermediate and maximum rates. |
