- Title
New England Power Economics.

Poulsen, Roy G.
- Abstract
New England, lacking reserves within its own borders, has had to import fuels from distant domestic and overseas points imposing on the region a sizeable fuel transportation burden. Today, however, New England is on the threshold of a new and entirely different energy era. This stems from the success of the Yankee Atomic Company at Rowe, Massachusetts, in the commercial production of electric power based on energy from the atom. This study concerns itself with the changing economic relationship among the older power sources, the changing economics of atomic power, and the meaning to the economy of the region as this new power source assumes a larger role and gradually releases New England from its long dependence on the imported fossil fuels.
