Scanning and imaging all U.S.-bound shipping containers at overseas ports would cost $12 billion to $32 billion over 10 years, CBO estimates. Boosting the number of containers imaged at U.S. ports instead would cost considerably less.
How does CBO estimate increases in hurricane damage between now and 2075? This working paper documents the analysis underlying CBO’s report Potential Increases in Hurricane Damage in the United States: Implications for the Federal Budget.
How much will hurricane damage increase in coming years because of climate change and coastal development? This report examines the implications for the federal budget and three approaches for decreasing the pressure for federal spending.
