Notes
1. He commented in one of his first analyses of climate change that prohibition on nuclear power would make the cost of meeting carbon constraints about five times as large (Nordhaus, Citation1977, p. 346).
2. The kinetic energy of an air molecule is proportional to the square of wind speed. The number of molecules striking a fixed structure per unit of time is proportional to wind speed. The impact on a fixed structure per unit of time is the product of these two factors.
