DAL "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY": "National, State and local decisions on the rate at Which to pursue electric residential space heating depends critically on the overall desirability of this form of residential space heating relative to fossil-fuel residential space heating. The overall desirability of the electric space heating system may be evaluated in terms of the comparative environmental impact and the comparative economic impact if this form of space heating were in widespread public use. This study is concerned only with the environmental aspects of such an evaluation.
General conclusions
This study compares the overall environmental impact in the United States if 1980 residential space heating requirements are satisfied by all fossil-fuel space heating, based on the present mix of fossil fuels being used for residential space heating, versus all electric space heating.
The results of this study indicate that electric resedential space heating is the more desirable form of space heat based on the following environmental factors:
- The environmental impact, measured by the equivalent residential rooftop emissions, of the pollutants emitted by the electric space heating system is substantially less than the impact of the pollutants emitted by the fossil fuel system. This environmental factor represents an index of the potential damage to ground-level receptors: human, other living and non-living..
- Electric residential space heating consumes a smaller quantity of economically useful natural resources; resources having economic use, including petrochemicals and their end-use products such as textiles and plastics, other than electric generation.
