Regional Response To A Statewide Renewable Energy Standard: Status And Trends Of Wind Energy Development In West Michigan, Erik Edward Nordman
Regional Response To A Statewide Renewable Energy Standard: Status And Trends Of Wind Energy Development In West Michigan, Erik Edward Nordman
Erik Edward Nordman
This project used integrated assessment to explore and analyze regional response to Michigan’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS). The RPS required electric providers to generate ten-percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2015. Wind was identified as a primary source of renewable energy, and much of the state’s wind resources are concentrated in the West Michigan coastal zone. About 28 percent of the state’s planned wind generation capacity is located in the four-county study area. Local governments vary in their current regulations for siting utility-scale wind farms, as well as in their attitudes toward them. The region has significant offshore …

This Article functions as a companion to a piece, Solar Rights, recently published in the Boston University Law Review. In that piece, the author analyzed the absence of a coherent legal framework for the treatment of solar rights - the rights to access and harness the rays of the sun. The growing popularity of, and need for, solar collector technology and other solar uses calls for reform. Answering the call for reform in Solar Rights, this Article proposes a framework within which a solar rights regime might be developed. First, as a baseline, any regime must recognize the natural characteristics …

Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Among the environmental challenges, which humanity is facing today, there are the threat of global climate change, unsatisfactory air quality, and the fact that the resources of fossil fuels are finite. Biofuels have long been at the top of international agenda as a possible solution to all the three issues. The present project is a timely contribution to the research of the law of biofuels. The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the use of law as a means to implement the ambitious policy on biofuels. In this, I investigate and evaluate in what respects legal systems promote respectively …
Greening The Grid And Climate Justice, Alice Kaswan
Greening The Grid And Climate Justice, Alice Kaswan
Alice Kaswan
This short symposium essay argues that the collateral environmental and economic justice benefits of greening the grid provide support for transformative climate policies that speed the development of fossil fuel alternatives. More broadly, policymakers should integrate climate justice considerations into the design of any new energy infrastructure in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of the profound transition ahead. While efforts to integrate climate justice could complicate climate and energy legislation, they would, on balance, further rather than hinder the political prospects for greening the grid. The essay concludes by encouraging an inclusive and participatory process for …

Solar Rights, Sara C. Bronin
Solar Rights, Sara C. Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
The rights to access and to harness the rays of the sun - solar rights - are extremely valuable. These rights can determine whether and how an individual can take advantage of the sun’s light, warmth, or energy, and they can have significant economic consequences. Accordingly, for at least two thousand years, people have attempted to assign solar rights in a fair and efficient manner. In the United States, attempts to assign solar rights have fallen short. A quarter century ago, numerous American legal scholars debated this deficiency. They agreed that this country lacked a coherent legal framework for the …
The Rising Tide Of Climate Change: What America’S Flood Cities Can Teach Us About Energy Policy And Why We Should Be Worried, Joshua P. Fershee
The Rising Tide Of Climate Change: What America’S Flood Cities Can Teach Us About Energy Policy And Why We Should Be Worried, Joshua P. Fershee
Joshua P Fershee
To provide a model for assessing the current and likely responses to climate change risks, this Article considers two of America’s worst flood disasters—in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and New Orleans, Louisiana— and applies the same rationale to critical climate change issues facing the nation today. This Article, written by a current resident of Grand Forks and a former New Orleans resident, begins with a background on climate change and related policy initiatives. Next, it considers the flood of 1997 in Grand Forks, which caused more than 50,000 people to abandon their homes. The development of the flood preparations, the …
