Environmental Aspects

The figure below illustrates some of the most significant effects associated with nuclear and fossil fuel fired generation – the technologies that provide the great majority of Maryland’s electricity supply. For more information about these topics, as well as the potential impacts from other generating technologies (e.g., hydroelectric and wind power), please see the report “Maryland Power Plants and the Environment” (CEIR-14), available under the Program Activities link at PPRP’s website: http://dnr.Maryland.gov/Bay/pprp
