Much Ado About Nothing? The Antitrust Implications Of Private Equity Club Deals, Jessica Jackson
Much Ado About Nothing? The Antitrust Implications Of Private Equity Club Deals, Jessica Jackson
Florida Law Review
In May 1976, with merely $120,000 and a few metal chairs left behind from a prior tenant, Kolberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) opened its doors. Though few people outside Wall Street circles knew of this start-up company, by the 1980s its reputation as a takeover machine brought it notoriety. One can only imagine what went on behind closed doors, but whatever happened, it worked. By 1989, KKR had become the largest client of accounting giant Deloitte & Touche, with General Motors following as a close second. The “Age of Leverage” peaked in 1990 when KKR took over RJR Nabisco. …

Symposium - Supply And Demand: Barriers To A New Energy Future, Michael P. Vandenbergh, J. B. Ruhl, Jim Rossi
Symposium - Supply And Demand: Barriers To A New Energy Future, Michael P. Vandenbergh, J. B. Ruhl, Jim Rossi
Vanderbilt Law Review
Like many fields, energy law has had its ups and downs. A period of remarkable activity in the 1970s and early 1980s focused on the efficiencies arising from deregulation of energy markets, but the field attracted much less attention during the 1990s. In the last decade, a new burst of activity has occurred, driven largely by the implications of energy production and use for climate change. In effect, this new scholarship is asking what efficiency means in a carbon- constrained world. Accounting for carbon has induced scholars to challenge the implicit assumption of the early scholarship that the price of …
Environmental Law And Fossil Fuels: Barriers To Renewable Energy, Uma Outka
Environmental Law And Fossil Fuels: Barriers To Renewable Energy, Uma Outka
Vanderbilt Law Review
Renewable energy is gaining momentum around the globe, but the United States has only just begun to change its energy trajectory away from fossil fuels. Today, only about 10% of electricity in the United States is generated from renewable energy, and most of that comes from hydroelectric power plants that have been operating for many years. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects 30% of new capacity over the next twenty years will utilize renewable resources, without significant changes in U.S. energy policy, but at that pace renewable energy will still account for only 16% of generated electricity. These prospects stand …

Interstate Transmission Challenges For Renewable Energy: A Federalism Mismatch, Alexandra B. Klass, Elizabeth J. Wilson
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is impossible to talk about developing renewable energy resources in the United States without also talking about developing electric transmission infrastructure. More specifically, the transmission-planning strategies that may have worked in the past are no longer effective to integrate new sources of renewable energy into the transmission grid. Transmission lines were historically built to link large stationary power plants to nearby electricity demand centers like cities. For renewable energy, however, state mandates and policies are driving investment in wind-and to a lesser extent solar-energy, creating a need for new transmission lines to link these dispersed resources with electric load …
Building-Related Renewable Energy And The Case Of 360 State Street, Sara C. Bronin
Building-Related Renewable Energy And The Case Of 360 State Street, Sara C. Bronin
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article focuses on small-scale and midsized facilities and does not consider large-scale facilities, which tend to be located far from population centers. These facilities certainly raise pressing legal concerns, not least of which is how the energy sprawl they create should be managed. Indeed, siting (along with initial start-up financing) is a primary barrier to large-scale renewable energy. This Article sets large-scale facilities aside and focuses primarily on projects whose scale allows them to be incorporated into inhabited structures.

Sustainable Consumption, Energy Policy, And Individual Well-Being, Daniel A. Farber
Sustainable Consumption, Energy Policy, And Individual Well-Being, Daniel A. Farber
Vanderbilt Law Review
The United States is an exceptional place in many ways, not least in its consumption. The United States consumes a disproportionate share of the world's energy and resources, with a correspondingly large environmental footprint. At present, although we have been successful in creating economic wealth, well-being has lagged behind. Could the United States shift to a more sustainable path? Would that require an unacceptable sacrifice of social welfare? This Article argues that a shift really is possible, and that many of the steps to sustainability would actually make people better off even apart from their environmental benefits.
At present, we …
Hydro Law And The Future Of Hydroelectric Power Generation In The United States, Dan Tarlock
Hydro Law And The Future Of Hydroelectric Power Generation In The United States, Dan Tarlock
Vanderbilt Law Review
Hydroelectric energy ("hydro") is the oldest major source of noncarbon, renewable energy in the United States. For three reasons, increased hydro generation should be a major element of any national climate change and energy-security policy designed to promote the greater use of renewables to help the country transition to the production of sustainable, i.e., noncarbon-based, energy. First, hydro is relatively clean because it does not cause air pollution or substantial greenhouse gas emissions.' Second, hydro is relatively reliable. Third, hydro can help wean the United States from its dependence on imported and often politically unstable hydrocarbon sources of energy, because …
Energy Ratings Hit Commercial Real Estate - California Lights The Way, Jonathan Cahill
Energy Ratings Hit Commercial Real Estate - California Lights The Way, Jonathan Cahill
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
The Energy Star Program has been extremely successful for consumer appliances and electronics, but can this success translate to commercial real estate? In the United States, commercial buildings account for nearly nineteen percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, energy rating of buildings has become an increasingly attractive way to combat pollution and lower energy consumption. Despite this, the United States does not yet have a federal policy requiring energy usage disclosure for buildings. This has left state and local governments to lead the way in innovative and effective reporting regimes. California's response to this regulatory vacuum is Assembly Bill …
Roles For State Energy Regulators In Climate Change Mitigation , Brandon Hofmeister
Roles For State Energy Regulators In Climate Change Mitigation , Brandon Hofmeister
Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law
The construction of new power plants in the United States carries the risk of significantly contributing to global climate change. After concluding that the current federal regulatory response to climate change risks from power plants is inadequate, this Article examines three potential roles for state energy regulators to play as a bridge climate mitigation strategy until a cohesive federal policy is enacted. State energy regulators have received relatively little attention as potential climate change regulators, but they are well positioned to analyze and mitigate climate change risks from new power plants. The Article considers the advantages and drawbacks of state …

Will China's 12th Five Year Plan Allow For Sufficient Nuclear Power To Support Its Booming Economy In The Next Twenty Years?, Patricia Blazey
Will China's 12th Five Year Plan Allow For Sufficient Nuclear Power To Support Its Booming Economy In The Next Twenty Years?, Patricia Blazey
Washington International Law Journal
A major part of China’s 12th Five Year Plan focuses on energy conservation and environmental protection. Its 12th Year Environmental Plan provides that China will increase its nuclear capacity by 30% from 2010 levels of 10.8 gigawatts to 43 gigawatts in 2014. Two questions arise from this plan. First, will enough energy be produced from other sources to supply the country’s energy needs or will there be the need for an expansion to its nuclear program? Second, are the locations of its nuclear power plants safe in light of the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan following …
Lessons Unlearned: The Legal And Policy Legacy Of The Bp Deepwater Horizon Spill, Mark Davis
Lessons Unlearned: The Legal And Policy Legacy Of The Bp Deepwater Horizon Spill, Mark Davis
Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment
The explosion and blowout of the BP Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico dominated much of the news and public discussion during the late spring and summer of 2010. The size and scale of the blowout and its effects on people, communities, and the environment produced loud calls for deep changes in the nation’s energy and environmental laws and policies. While some things have changed, the wide ranging changes that many expected have not yet come to pass; indeed if anything the momentum has shifted to letting aggressive oil and gas development resume and to leave the fundamental …
The New Nuclear Power Generation Licensing Scheme In Its Defining Moment: A Regulatory Vessel Equipped To Support A Thriving Industry Or Drifting Towards Stormy Waters Capable Of Running The Nuclear Revival Aground?, Anna Knecht
Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment
This Student Note assesses Congress and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s “new” nuclear licensing scheme by way of comparison with the old, two-step process under which the industry endured an era of dormancy lasting nearly forty years. With a focus on the novel ITAAC review process, this Note argues that while the Part 52 process is superior to its predecessor, certain significant issues (articulated herein) must be resolved before the new regulatory framework can support the economic, environmental, safety, and other advantages it aims to achieve.

An Integrated Green Urban Electrical Grid, Deborah Behles
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Relying on only renewable resources for generating electricity once seemed like a dream. Yet, an island in Denmark is now achieving that dream by generating all the electricity it needs with renewable resources. Other communities throughout the world now want to achieve this same milestone. To critics, these goals are not attainable due to the intermittent nature of the primary renewable resources, wind and solar power, which many of these communities plan to rely on. But, several studies have confirmed that it can be done, and plans are already underway to switch communities to one hundred percent renewable energy in …
The Andean Electricity Market: A Competition Law Analysis, Mateo Ferrero
The Andean Electricity Market: A Competition Law Analysis, Mateo Ferrero
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
The countries of the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru) have great potential to produce clean and reliable energy. However, this potential has only been exploited to a limited extent. Network industries, such as the electricity sector, have special features that create unique challenges for both developed and developing countries seeking to adequately manage this important part of the economy. Although the member countries of the Andean Community have substantially reformed their energy industries in the past decades, this sector still requires further competition. So far, most of the efforts undertaken by these countries have neglected the possibility of …
