Discretion Bites: The Current State Of Animal Emergency Planning, Paige Chretien
Discretion Bites: The Current State Of Animal Emergency Planning, Paige Chretien
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
Natural disasters have historically wreaked havoc on the lives of animals. Hurricane Katrina, which hit the gulf coast of Louisiana in 2005, exposed the tragic vulnerabilities of pets and pet owners in disasters and brought awareness to the significance of the human-animal bond.[1] As climate change will likely breed storms that are more deadly than their predecessors, planning and preparedness are essential to mitigating the impacts of these storms. The current status of animal emergency planning and preparedness in the state of California does not ensure that such vulnerable population will be adequately protected.
Part I begins by discussing the …
Do Mess With Texas ... ? Why Rolling Easements May Provide A Solution To The Loss Of Public Beaches Due To Climate Change-Induced Landward Coastal Migration, Carolyn Ginno
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
This paper explores the viability of rolling easements in California as well as how they might be implemented. California has the opportunity to use rolling easement doctrine to fill the public policy vacuum created by the Severance decision. By messing with Texas; precedent, California could utilize rolling easements to preserve public access to its beaches in the wake of coastal inundation resulting from climate change.
Determining whether and how rolling easements might be used in California requires an understanding of climate change as a man-made phenomenon and the impacts it has on coastal property. The next sections will outline this …
Planning For The Sun To Come Up: How Nevada And California Explain The Future Of Net Metering, Mark James, Ashleigh H. Krick, Kelsdy R. Bain
Planning For The Sun To Come Up: How Nevada And California Explain The Future Of Net Metering, Mark James, Ashleigh H. Krick, Kelsdy R. Bain
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
This Article explores the growth of rooftop solar and the future of net metering through the debates and policies of Nevada and California. Part II details the recent, rapid growth and projected future growth of solar power in the United States. Part II also describes how Nevada and Californiaare leading the nation in utilization of solar power and are already addressing issues that are likely to emerge in other areas of the country. Part III begins with a brief introduction to net metering and the national scope of net metering program reviews. Part III concludes with a summary of the …
Moving The Legal Needle Of Western Climate And Energy Options, Steven Ferrey
Moving The Legal Needle Of Western Climate And Energy Options, Steven Ferrey
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
All fifty U.S. states are not legally equal on energy options. The Western states are different from others in three notable regards, when assessing the possibilities and tools available to dictate their future energy landscapes. That future will not be based as much on traditional fossil fuel use. There will be a transition to more use of renewable energy, such that the majority of future electric power additions will be comprised of renewable energy.[1] For context, fossil fuels are transportable within the U.S.;either by pipeline or surface transport. Renewable energy is fixed in place and in its raw form is …
From Top-Down To Bottom-Up Climate Policy: New Challenges In Carbon Market Design, Jonas Monast
From Top-Down To Bottom-Up Climate Policy: New Challenges In Carbon Market Design, Jonas Monast
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
This Article explores the shift from top-down to bottom-up approaches to carbon market design, focusing on three strategies that have emerged since 2009: the California Cap-and-Trade Program, the Clean Power Plan, and the UNFCCC process. The Article then examines the prospects for broad multilateral markets to emerge under a bottom-up approach and identifies three pathways to streamline market design choices: a coordinated approach; a dominant actor approach; and a common elements approach.
Quick Fixes Or Real Remedies? The Benefits And Limitation Of Climate And Energy Fast Policy, Melissa Powers, Edward Jewell, Joni Sliger
Quick Fixes Or Real Remedies? The Benefits And Limitation Of Climate And Energy Fast Policy, Melissa Powers, Edward Jewell, Joni Sliger
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
To avoid these shortcomings, this article recommends that Oregon and other states lacking meaningful climate mitigation and energy decarbonization strategies slow down their policymaking so that they can first develop a long-term plan. These states should also ensure that their governance structures are in order. Specifically, states should ensure they have a governance system capable of designing, from the ground-up, a comprehensivestrategy to decarbonize the energy system and substantially reduce greenhouse gases by the middle of the century.[1] An adequate governance structure would also ensure that regulatory and planning agencies have the expertise, independence, and capacity to evaluate existing laws, …
