Abstract

This article reviews the National Audubon Society's report ''Side Effects of Renewable Energy Sources (SERES).'' The report, prepared by Dr. Larry Medsker, surveyed nine types of renewable energy, identifed the possible problems with each type, and showed how the problem could be minimized or avoided. Tables that list the consequences of development and the accompanying environmental stresses on land, air, water, wildlife, and flora are contained in the report.
