Privatization Of Water Desalination: The Need To Balance Governmental And Corporate Control In California, Melissa Lee
Privatization Of Water Desalination: The Need To Balance Governmental And Corporate Control In California, Melissa Lee
Global Business Law Review
This note argues that California has to create regulations that prevent complete privatization of desalination facilities and protect the public's right to the water. This note provides a model that should be adopted by California in order to safeguard the water and community. There must be legislations and regulations to answer important issues of water rights and distribution of the desalinated water. Israel has utilized and the technology of desalination for half a century and has laws pertaining to water and privatization that can provide insight into what should be adopted by California.
The Reality Of Business And Governmental Decision-Making In The Context Of Sustainable Development, David Barnhizer
The Reality Of Business And Governmental Decision-Making In The Context Of Sustainable Development, David Barnhizer
David Barnhizer
It is absolutely rational for economic actors and decision-makers to seek to operate in their own self-interest. The challenge for anyone who wishes to influence or alter the process lies in knowing where that self-interest lies and changing the nature of the self-interest if that is required or possible. That is a far greater challenge than many understand because regardless of what we might like to do in our personal lives, it is the institution within which we work that dictates how we think and what we value in our service to that institution. Given the short time frame within …
New “Architecture” And Revitalizing The Un Global Compact, David Barnhizer
New “Architecture” And Revitalizing The Un Global Compact, David Barnhizer
David Barnhizer
Some advocates of sustainable development possess an almost theological faith in what I refer to as “rhetorical” sustainable development as the path to providing for the sound future of human civilizations and critical ecological systems. Simply put, if we try to think “too big” and “bite off too much” then the system we are trying to control or influence consumes us and our resources and we fail miserably. There is real and predictable danger in grandeur. This means we need to think about achieving sustainability in very specific and concrete terms applied to clear goals and an honest understanding of …
Some Legal Impacts Of The Emerging International Climate Change Regime On Energy Prices, James E. Hickey Jr.
Some Legal Impacts Of The Emerging International Climate Change Regime On Energy Prices, James E. Hickey Jr.
Global Business Law Review
From the beginning of scientific assessment of climate change in the late 1970’s to the most recent conference of the parties (COP) to the Kyoto Protocol in Doha in 2012 , the international community has been attempting to establish a workable legal regime to deal with climate change. The purpose of this article is to explore some of the legal effects this emerging international climate change regime may have on energy prices in the foreseeable future. Specifically, this article in section II article accepts certain predicates relating to climate change and energy prices. In section III, it lays out briefly …
Shale Revolution Or Evolution: Opportunities And Challenges For Europe, Owen L. Anderson
Shale Revolution Or Evolution: Opportunities And Challenges For Europe, Owen L. Anderson
Global Business Law Review
Will European shale gas be developed as rapidly as it has in the United States? If one considers that shale gas took about 30 years to develop from an experimental demonstration into a fast developing commercial enterprise, it should not take that long in Europe. Indeed, the United Kingdom, after lifting its moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, appears to be moving quite rapidly. Poland is actively promoting shale gas but so far without economic production. On the other hand, if one considers how rapidly shale gas has expanded in the United States since 2003 and how rapidly investment in shale gas …
The Impact Of Shale Development On International And Domestic Oil And Gas Contracts, Andrew R. Thomas
The Impact Of Shale Development On International And Domestic Oil And Gas Contracts, Andrew R. Thomas
Global Business Law Review
In new oil and gas provinces, such as Ohio, Pennsylvania or Ukraine, learning oil and gas customs can be a hard lesson for those trying to break into the industry as service providers. They need to get up to speed quickly on customs, form agreements, and applicable laws. But unconventional oil and gas recovery will also lead eventually to unconventional agreements. In this regard, the nascent upstream service industry in new shale provinces are not so far behind - there is reason to be to be optimistic that oil and gas companies will be rethinking how they transact business as …
Maintaining The Status Quo: Electricity Utility Deregulation Difficulties In Ohio , Todd A. Snitchler
Maintaining The Status Quo: Electricity Utility Deregulation Difficulties In Ohio , Todd A. Snitchler
Cleveland State Law Review
In this Article, I seek to review the state of affairs under the Ohio deregulation plan by identifying first the present circumstances in the Ohio electricity utility marketplace and second options that other states, which have not yet deregulated, should consider in developing their plans. In Part I, I examine the current state of electricity utilities in Ohio and the pressures on the legislature that led to calls for deregulation. In Part II, I briefly consider the existing regulatory framework on the state and federal levels. In Part III, I analyze the Ohio deregulation plan with a focus on whether …
Access To Sunlight In Ohio: The Dismal Outlook, Amy E. Blenkhorn
Access To Sunlight In Ohio: The Dismal Outlook, Amy E. Blenkhorn
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note will trace the evolution of access-to-sunlight issues and the enactment of new laws in the solar-access area, with primary focus on Ohio's treatment of the issues. A brief historical review will be included as well as data relating to the feasibility of using solar energy in Ohio. A critical analysis of the recent Ohio Solar Easement Statute also will be presented. Solar statutes and case law of other states and policies of the federal government and foreign governments will be scrutinized. These findings will be examined in an attempt to forecast whether Ohio should adopt or reject various …
Nuclear Power And Preemption: Opportunities For State Regulation, Robert S. Peck
Nuclear Power And Preemption: Opportunities For State Regulation, Robert S. Peck
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note proposes that federal preemption should not be deemed to bar state regulations which further federal goals by imposing more stringent demands upon the regulated subject matter. Additionally, however, valid state regulations must further a demonstrable public health and safety interest of the state, and must not be explicitly barred by a valid congressional declaration of exclusive federal authority. This view of preemption would permit a state to implement a policy reflecting the federal balance between strict safety regulation of nuclear power and encouragement of the continued development of atomic energy. Thus, stricter regulations would be within the permissible …

Regulatory Responsibility In The Atomic Energy Program ( A Symposium), Paul C. Aebersold, W. A. Kitts, Frank Norton, George E. Thoma Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
The regulatory actions taken by federal, state and local governments will exert a great impact on the present and future development of the civilian atomic energy program. All are aware of the tremendous potential that atomic energy holds for mankind. All are equally aware, on the negative side, of the potential radiation hazards associated with the use of radiation and radioactive materials. These hazards must be controlled so that the full realization of atomic energy benefits may be enjoyed.
Federal Regulation Of Atomic Energy Activities, Paul C. Aebersold, Gerald L. Hutton
Federal Regulation Of Atomic Energy Activities, Paul C. Aebersold, Gerald L. Hutton
Cleveland State Law Review
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 expressly recognizes in Section One that atomic energy is capable of application for peaceful purposes as well as military uses. The Act also provides that United policy is to direct the development, use, and control of atomic energy so as to make the maximum contribution to the general welfare, promote world peace, improve the general welfare, increase the standard of living, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. These objectives are subject at all times to the paramount objective of maximum contribution to the common defense and security. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 …
