Preemption, I Think Not: Evaluating California’S Stored Energy Procurement Law Against Ferc Order 841, Raymond Richards
Preemption, I Think Not: Evaluating California’S Stored Energy Procurement Law Against Ferc Order 841, Raymond Richards
Pace Environmental Law Review
California’s Energy Storage Systems procurement mandate is a groundbreaking measure designed to supply more clean and reliable energy to the state by allowing the capture of power produced now to be used later. While this technology is still developing, a ready market for such resources will help advance capabilities and bring down cost. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) Order 841 will springboard storage technology in regions covered by Regional Transmission Organizations (“RTOs”) by allowing storage providers non-discriminatory and accommodating access to the FERC wholesale markets. Although FERC’s new Order speaks directly to the issue of storage technology, it should not …

Microgrids: Legal And Regulatory Hurdles For A More Resilient Energy Infrastructure, Raquel Parks
Pace Environmental Law Review
Natural disasters and climate change have made it apparent that energy infrastructure needs to be modernized and microgrids are one type of technology that can help the electricity grid become more resilient, reliable, and efficient.

Law, Cultural Heritage, And Climate Change In The United States, Casey J. Snyder
Pace Environmental Law Review
Climate change is a reality. What happens climatically over the upcoming centuries is partially dependent on the comprehensiveness of a global response to curb emissions of greenhouse gases. However, within a century, forecasts predict a one-meter sea level rise that could have grave implications to our society: the loss of an incalculable extent of cultural heritage. This Article examines the threat climate change poses to physical cultural heritage, like archaeological sites and historic structures, and the current framework of law, regulation, and policy in the United States meant to protect these resources. This Article blends research and data from climate …

State Public Nuisance Claims And Climate Change Adaptation, Albert C. Lin, Michael Burger
Pace Environmental Law Review
This Article explores the potential for state public nuisance claims to facilitate adaptation, resource protection, and other climate change responses by coastal communities in California. The California public nuisance actions represent just the latest chapter in efforts to spur responses to climate change and attribute responsibility for climate change through the common law. Part II of this Article describes the California public nuisance lawsuits and situates them in the context of common law actions directed against climate change. Part III considers the preliminary defenses that defendants have raised and could raise in the California public nuisance lawsuits, including the existence …
