Abstract

Pacific Northwest Laboratory (operated by Battelle Memorial Institute) for the US Department of Energy. Very detailed historical data on production subsidies to multiple fuels and the origination of many federal programs. Includes information on federal investments into many large hydro dams and in the TVA. Provides useful perspective on the substantial federal subsidies that bolstered large scale hydro and fission power for decades.
