Introduction
The environmental infrastructure exists to protect the environment from the impacts of other infrastructure components and to provide clean drinking water and recreational areas. It is linked to the energy infrastructure in many ways; for example, the extraction and use of energy creates many environmental impacts. Moreover, the accumulation of greenhouse gases is inextricably linked to the energy use.
