| Summary |
Assessing the potential environmental and human effects of deploying renewable energy on private and public lands, along our coasts, on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), and in the Great Lakes requires a new way of evaluating potential environmental and human impacts. Deployment of renewables requires a framework risk paradigm that underpins effective future siting decisions and public policies. Risk assessment by itself does not include all the elements needed for complex decisions. However, it provides one body of information and analysis essential for complex decision making. Arriving at a broad and integrated risk profile of environmental and human effects requires an approach that accounts for the scientific evidence, compares other energy supply options and benefits, and considers stakeholder and public concerns. |
