B. the social cost is greater than the private cost of the N Pua Makani wind project. C. the private cost is equal to the social cost of the N Pua Makani wind project. D. it cannot be determined if either the private or social cost is larger for the N Pua Makani wind project without additional information. Based only on the information given in this assignment about the N Pua Makani wind farm, it can be concluded that it creates a externality. A. Negative B. Positive.
