Chapter 11 FOSSIL FUELS: ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTSIn air quality, the National Energy Strategy seeks to reduce energy-related emissions toachieve and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon monoxide andozone; [and] to develop cost-effective, flexible control strategies to reduce energy-relatedemissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). [..] The 1990 Clean AirAct Amendments [..] will limit the major air pollutants from powerplants, vehicles, andindustry. In many cases, pollutants will be reduced from current levels despite economicgrowth and increased use of energy.(National Energy Strategy, Executive Summary, 1991/1992)Energy production and use pose significant ENVIRONMENTAL challenges. Policy approachesmust align energy and ENVIRONMENTAL issues to ensure that economic growth andenvironmental protection are achieved together.
