- Rectenna construction and secondary growth. - Initial industrial relocation and secondary growth* - Attraction of related industrial economic activity and their secondary effects. • Assess the responsiveness of industry to relocate facilities based on the availability and cost of electric power. This assessment would include: - Identification of electric intensive industries and processes. - Consideration of projected regional generating capacities that may influence future shifts in the spatial location of industry. - Price comparisons of SPS electricity with other forms of generation. - Identification of industry-specific resource needs and other incentives that may influence relocation decisions such as water availability; transportation or labor requirements; market locations; and government policies at the local, state and federal levels. Assess the legal and political implications of government incentives that may be considered to stimulate the use of SPS outputs through encouraging industrial relocations. This assessment would include: - Identification and review of laws governing the economic development of new areas. - Consideration of issues identified in other Societal Assessment white papers that would affect the implementation of government incentives (e.g., finance/management, public acceptance, and centralization/decentralization). - Consideration of the impact that the implementation of such incentives may have on existing policy goals (e.g., urban redevelopment). These short-term assessments will require information about the industrial markets that SPS can be expected to serve. Anticipation of these markets is essential to the development of economic and population projections using the export-base approach advocated in earlier portions of this paper. It should not be inferred that the concern for markets implies either advocacy for or a promotional view toward SPS.
