Author: Johnson, Anne Marie
Date Published: 2003
This research document assessed the health and environmental impact of power plants being built alongside the US-Mexico Border. The report also estimated that an additional 60,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity will be built in the ten US-Mexico border states between 2001-2011. The report makes 12 recommendations aimed at preventing further declines in border air quality and water supplies while the region's electricity supply grows and calls for innovative solutions to be developed before the power plants are built.
