Climate and Energy Assessment of SPS and Alternatives

Table 2.5. Energy Production Rates of Natural Atmospheric Processes and Anthropogenic Sources 2.1.4 Local Impacts Noticeable atmospheric modifications are currently occurring within a few kilometers of large, industrial emitters of heat and moisture. In particular, large electric generating facilities, which reject large amounts of heat to the environment by means of cooling towers, cooling ponds, or other means, have been shown to alter the local climate. The geographical extent
