Offshore Oil Leasing: Trump Administration’S Environmentally Dangerous Energy Policy, Carol J. Miller, Bonnie B. Persons
Offshore Oil Leasing: Trump Administration’S Environmentally Dangerous Energy Policy, Carol J. Miller, Bonnie B. Persons
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
The Trump administration’s Executive orders on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth (“Energy Independence Order”) and Implementing an America-First Offshore Energy Strategy (“Offshore Energy Order”) set the stage to open over 90% of the continental shelf to offshore oil drilling from 2019–2024. The Offshore Energy Order ignores the statutory requirements of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (“OCSLA”) and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) to balance energy exploration with safeguards for marine life and the environment. We analyze the lack of express authority in OCSLA for the President to rescind its protective designations, in comparison to other laws that …
From Exploitation To Equity: Building Native-Owned Renewable Energy Generation In Indian Country, Michael Maruca
From Exploitation To Equity: Building Native-Owned Renewable Energy Generation In Indian Country, Michael Maruca
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Indian country contains abundant renewable energy resources, and harnessing such resources is vitally important for national climate change mitigation efforts. Shifting the electric grid towards wind and solar generation also carries local environmental and health benefits, increases energy independence, and serves national security interests. For willing tribes, renewable energy development offers an opportunity for job growth and income base expansion. But if that development is to serve all parties— tribes, states, and the nation—then the current policy framework must change. If it does not change, policymakers risk continuing the long history of exploitative resource development on reservations.

Property In The Anthropocene, E. Lees
Property In The Anthropocene, E. Lees
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Intergenerational justice, community interests, and environmental protection are all goals sought through the imposition of the duties of stewardship onto owners of land. But such duties, when imposed by law, require justification beyond the morality of maintaining and preserving land in a good condition for its present and future use. The potential for sanction imposed by the state means that stewardship duties, if they are to be justified, must be grounded in established principles of justified legal intervention. Of those, the most convincing is, and always has been, the harm principle: intervention is justified where a rule prevents one person …
Fulfilling Climate Justice And Government Obligations To Alaska Native Villages: What Is The Government Role?, E. Barrett Ristroph
Fulfilling Climate Justice And Government Obligations To Alaska Native Villages: What Is The Government Role?, E. Barrett Ristroph
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Climate change has had significant impacts on lands and communities across the United States, and particularly on Alaska Native Villages (“ANVs”). These Arctic and sub-Arctic indigenous communities, which are often remote and rural, depend on the land and water for their nutritional and cultural survival. My research draws from 153 interviews and conversations with ANV residents and those who make or influence policy for ANVs, along with local, state, and federal plans and laws relevant to ANVs and climate change. I consider the current and potential role of the federal and Alaskan governments in assisting ANVs and other communities to …
Waste Size: The Skinny On The Environmental Costs Of The Fashion Industry, Elisha Teibel
Waste Size: The Skinny On The Environmental Costs Of The Fashion Industry, Elisha Teibel
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
The fashion industry is a web of complex global markets currently valued at $3 trillion that employs somewhere around sixty million people worldwide and is estimated to be one of the most labor-intensive industries on the planet. Over the past couple of decades, the industry has evolved into a highly fragmented sector with complicated supply chains and completely unstandardized production practices, which vary by factory and by country. The most significant facet of the fashion trade is the clothing and textile industry. The current total value of the clothing and textiles trade is estimated at $726 billion and a staggering …
Reinventing The Wheel: How Securitization Can Bolster The Market For Residential Energy Efficiency Loans, Joseph Gonyeau
Reinventing The Wheel: How Securitization Can Bolster The Market For Residential Energy Efficiency Loans, Joseph Gonyeau
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Currently, one of society’s greatest goals is the reduction of greenhouse gases. This goal is generally accepted worldwide, as evidenced by the Paris Climate Agreement, the parties to which agreed to establish frameworks for adopting clean energy and reducing greenhouse gases. After the United States’ controversial decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the federal government’s future in reducing greenhouse gases remains uncertain. Despite this setback, there are existing programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gases in the United States that the government should ensure succeed. One such program is the Warehouse for Energy Efficiency Loans (“WHEEL”).
WHEEL operates as a …
