A New And Improved Energy Reality—It's No Pipedream: Streamlining Permitting Procedures For Certain Classes Of Natural Resource Projects: The Canada-United States Keystone Xl Pipeline, Daniel Hare

I have specifically designed this new procedure so as to focus on political compromise and minimize political partisanship, while instead concentrating on achieving results.

Developing The Marcellus Shale: Legal, Regulatory, And Infrastructure Challenges And Their Effect On Downstream Energy Markets, Aaron Stemplewicz
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
The Marcellus Shale natural gas play is largely considered a "game changer" for the US. energy sector as recent technological breakthroughs in drilling techniques and technologies have made natural gas extraction from this massive play commercially viable. This note not only examines the primary driving forces behind the development of this pla, but also how the extent and pace iwith ihich it is developed will affect doinstream energy markets. In particular three categories of factors are evaluated: legal challenges, regulatory controls, and infrastructure development. Tiwo models of growth and their effect on downstream markets are then proposed and analyzed.

This report evaluates the legal and policy considerations required for developing the energy resource of New York's Great Lakes Offshore Wind (NYGLOW). The potential economic development, environmental and energy benefits of NYGLOW are discussed and a strategy for siting, environmental review, and incentives to gain public acceptance and attract significant investment in NYGLOW is recommended, drawing on approaches used for developing Offshore Wind elsewhere in North America. The approaches of New Jersey, Texas, and Ontario are examined in some detail. In addition, the Quebec Provincial economic development model of purchasing wind power and requiring a local manufacturing component is discussed. …
