FEDERAL ENERGY ADMINISTRATION PROJECT INDEPENDENCE BLUEPRINT FINAL TASK FORCE REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION, VOL. 1: ANALYSES OF REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRAINTS ON THE TRANSPORTATION OF ENERGY MATERIALS, VOL. 2: INPUTS TO THE PROJECT INDEPENDENCE EVALUATION SYSTEM INTEGRATION MODEL FOR THE TRANSPORT OF ENERGY MATERIALS

The object of the Crosscut Studies of the Transport of Energy Materials is to determine the degree in which the transportation system will be able to accommodate the goals of Project Independence, the degree in which transportation may be a constraint on the attainment of those goals and the effectiveness of various government policies in lifting any constraints. Transport modes studied were rail, waterway, oil and gas pipeline, coal slurry pipeline, truck movement of coal. The first volume of two analyzes the various transport modes in terms of regional and nation-wide capacities and suggest policy options. Volume Two serves two purposes: to present the methodology used to develop the data input to the Project Independence Supply and Demand Balancing Model and to document those inputs.
