Sitting Power Lines In Historic Areas Of Virginia, Amy Leigh Sheridan
Sitting Power Lines In Historic Areas Of Virginia, Amy Leigh Sheridan
University of Richmond Law Review
Historic preservationists in Virginia have a legislative tool to challenge a utility that seeks to erect a power line near a historical area. A public utility seeking approval of a proposed transmission line route must not only obtain a certificate of convenience and necessity pursuant to section 56-265.2 of the Virginia Code, but it must also comply with section 56-46.1 as well. With the passage of section 56-46.1, any interested party has the right to notice and the right to a hearing before the State Corporation Commission (SCC or Commission) when a power line siting decision is pending. Before approving …
Waste To Energy: Environmental And Local Government Concerns, Kelly Outten
Waste To Energy: Environmental And Local Government Concerns, Kelly Outten
University of Richmond Law Review
"The problem we are confronting here is immense-literally mountains of trash and garbage." With these words, Representative William S. Moorhead accurately described a current American dilemma-what to do with the four billion tons of solid waste annually produced by Americans. Concurrent with the problem of increasing quantities of waste are the problems of decreasing availability of land fill space and an ever-rising demand for energy. The existence of these problems is leading federal, state, and local governments to take a second look at their municipal solid waste and to realize that "waste is something more than an undesirable by-product of …

The Role Of Localities In The Transportation And Disposal Of Nuclear Wastes, Marvin Swift, Mars M. Wicker
The Role Of Localities In The Transportation And Disposal Of Nuclear Wastes, Marvin Swift, Mars M. Wicker
University of Richmond Law Review
Transportation and disposal of nuclear wastes brings the apprehensions associated with nuclear power into close physical and psychological proximity to many Americans. The subject of transportation comes with its own set of problems, including potential accidents, packaging, routing, security, sabotage, and special agency actions. Common to all of these problems is the element of the unknown. "Clearly nuclear shipments pre- sent some kind of public health hazard, not necessarily as great as some other activities do and .. .the nature of that hazard is not known precisely."
Coal Slurry Pipeline, Mary Kathleen Martin, Laurie L. Riddles
Coal Slurry Pipeline, Mary Kathleen Martin, Laurie L. Riddles
University of Richmond Law Review
Coal, a primary energy source, is presently fueling the fires of debate in Virginia. The controversy has arisen over a plan developed by private investors to construct a coal slurry pipeline. The pipeline, as proposed, would transport between five and twenty-five million tons of coal annually from southwest Virginia to the Tidewater area. The coal would be pulverized and combined in a fifty percent mixture with water. Once the coal reaches its destination, the water would be extracted by centrifuge, leaving the coal ready for use.
Guaranteeing Solar Access In Virginia, W. Wade Berryhill, William H. Parcell Iii
Guaranteeing Solar Access In Virginia, W. Wade Berryhill, William H. Parcell Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
The idea of using solar rays as a source of power is certainly not new. History records Archimedes' use of a solar concentrator to burn enemy vessels. The use of solar heat engines for over 150 years, the operation of a massive solar still to convert sea water to potable water in Chile for 40 years, and the development of an elaborate solar furnace in France are noted examples ofthe long standing and highly successful application of solar power.
Warranties-Implied Warranties Of Fitness And Merchantability Held Applicable To The Sale Of Electricity As A Service
University of Richmond Law Review
The Uniform Commercial Code has had a great influence on the development of the doctrine of implied warranties in the sale of goods. However, where a transaction primarily involves the sale of services rather than products, the application of implied warranties under the Code is questionable. The technical requirement of a sale has been the principal obstacle to recovery for breach of implied warranty in the area of service contracts when the rendition of service predominates and the transfer of personal property is incidental to the transaction. Although the sale of goods is not the only transaction in which implied …
