Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness to the Limited
Partners, (other than Far West Capital, Inc. ('FWC")), of Far West
Electric Energy Fund, L.P. (the "Fund") of the $1,250,000 proposed
to be paid by U.S. Envirosystems, Inc.  C'USE") for the geothermal
plant known as SB-1 and certain other assets of the Fund after the
date of closing, pursuant to the draft Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated December 7, 1995.

Corporate Capital Consultants, Inc. ('CCC") is a specialist
investment banking firm which, since its inception in 1974,
performs services in the area of financial consulting, corporate
valuation and fairness opinions, and mergers and acquisitions.  In
the valuation area, CCC has provided corporate valuations, often in
conjunction with pending purchase offers, plans to sell or
recapitalizations, for both public and privately-held companies in
a broad range of industries.  In the case of public companies, CCC
has furnished several fairness opinions with a number of tender
offers, going-private transactions, and the purchase of minority
interests.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other
things, a draft of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with attendant
documents; Annual Reports on Form 10K of the Fund for the five
years ended December 31, 1994, as well as tax returns for the same
period; certain Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Fund; certain
internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Fund prepared by
the management of the Fund; and certain internal financial analyses
and forecasts for the Fund if operated by USE as prepared by the
management of USE, We have also reviewed other documents such as
the current Power Purchase Agreement with Sierra Pacific Power,
loan documents, royalty agreements, draft to the proposed USE SB-2,
and a two-year old appraisal of the plant.  We also have held
discussions with members of the senior management of the Fund and
USE regarding the past and current business operations, financial
condition and future prospects of the SB-1 plant and the Fund.  We
have held discussions with the senior lender, Westinghouse Credit
Corporation, and Sierra Pacific Power.  We have reviewed
information on certain other companies in the independent power
production industry specifically and in other industries generally
and considered such other information, held such other discussions
and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered
appropriate.

Far West Electric Energy Fund, L.P.                               
    December 12,1995



We have relied without independent verification upon the accuracy
and completeness of all of the financial information and other
information reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion.  In
addition, we have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal
of the assets and liabilities of the plant or the Fund.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing an d such other matters as
we considered relevant, we are of the opinion that, as of December
12, 1995, the consideration to be received by the Limited Partners
(other than FWC) are fair to those Limited Partners from a
financial point of view.


Very truly yours,

CORPORATE CAPITAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
