U.S. Regulatory Regimes And Offshore Energy Production, Jeffery R. Ray

Buffalo Environmental Law Journal

This paper shows that offshore wind is an emerging key resource that should comprise a greater portion of our national energy fuel mix. Energy security, as a new process of security to our economic and military might in the modern world, has become an intrinsic issue of national security. This paradigm is constrained by the knowledge and experience regarding the harmful effects of producing energy.

Policy Meltdown: How Climate Change Is Driving Excessive Nuclear Energy Investment, Ashley Hardy, Dontan Hart Jan 2018

Policy Meltdown: How Climate Change Is Driving Excessive Nuclear Energy Investment, Ashley Hardy, Dontan Hart

Buffalo Environmental Law Journal

Advocacy And Diplomacy In The Great Lakes: A Case History Of Non-Governmental-Organization Participation In Negotiating The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, Jack Manno
