Built in 1923 as a coal-powered operation‚ the High Bridge plant‚ along with Riverside in Minneapolis‚ once formed the hub of Northern States Power Company‚ a predecessor to Xcel Energy. The original plant was replaced with a new natural gas fired generating facility starting in 2005 as part of Xcel Energy’s Metro Emission Reduction Project. The coal-fired plant was retired in 2007 and the new facility came on line in May 2008. (High Bridge Generating Station) One interesting feature about the

Topic 6: Externalities and Public Goods An externality is created when the actions of participants in a private market affect the well being of someone not directly associated with that market. Consider the market for paper. Paper creates a byproduct in its production called dioxin. Dioxin affects innocent bystanders by causing cancer and birth defects. This is a negative externality in production because the paper firm doesn’t consider this cost to society when making production decisions
