A Georgist Perspective Of Petroleum Taxation, Joseph Leeson
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Over a century ago, the town of Arden, Delaware, was founded on a unique single-tax-community system that radically altered the popular concept of land ownership.

Expanding The Renewable Energy Industry Through Tax Subsidies Using The Structure And Rationale Of Traditional Energy Tax Subsidies, Blake Harrison
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Just as the government invested in oil and gas, it must now invest in new energy sources. In a sense, Americans need history to repeat itself.

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

Taxation - Exemption Of Federal Instrumentality -Property Of A Governmental Agency Used For Non-Governmental Purpose, Virginia M. Renz
Michigan Law Review

Held, property is not exempt from a non-discriminatory ad valorem state tax merely because it is the property of a federal instrumentality. There should be no exemption unless the taxation imposes a direct burden upon the exertion of a federal governmental power. Taber v. Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Co., (U. S. 1937) 57 S. Ct. 334.
