Cogeneration: A Successful Response To The Energy Crisis?, Charles M. Pratt

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article examines the concept of cogeneration, a term for the simultaneous production of both electricity and other useful energy in a single facility by a cascading use of heat energy. It analyzes the rise of cogeneration through the lens of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA"), enacted by Congress to improve the distribution of electric energy and encourage the conservation of resources, as well as the efforts of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") to encourage cogeneration. This article discusses a number of the issues raised and left unresolved by this federal policy of encouraging the …

Acquisition Of Energy Resources Under The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act: A Look At The Future, James O. Luce, Janet W. Mclennan

Seattle University Law Review

This article addresses the impact of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act, focusing on two issues: (1) proposed administrative procedures, and (2) the BPA purchase authority. Purchase authority permits the BPA to purchase additional electric energy beyond the hydroelectric and thermal power it already markets. Purchase authority was at the heart of the debate over the regional power legislation. The administrative procedures the agency may adopt will establish the framework for many of the BPA's majority policy decision. Discussion of these issues necessarily involves an analysis of how the legislation will affect the BPA's actions.

Putting The Genie Back Into The Bottle: U.S. Controls Over Sensitive Nuclear Technology, Richard C. Ausness

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The linkage between the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and weapons development is a complex one; therefore, this article presents both sensitive nuclear technology and the nature of nuclear proliferation in some detail before proceeding to a critique of the current American policy. Accordingly, Part II describes causes of proliferation, uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing technology, and nuclear proliferation pathways. Part III examines the international safeguards regime, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Nuclear Suppliers’ Guidelines. Part IV summarizes the statutory basis for the current U.S. policy, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, while Part V evaluates this policy …

The Canadian National Energy Program: An Example Of Assertion Of Economic Sovereignty Or Creeping Expropriation In International Law, Errol P. Mendes

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Canadian National Energy Program provides insight into the critical global debate on the expropriation of alien investors' property. Sovereign states can no longer expropriate by forced and outright transfers of an alien's assets without any compensation. States which expropriate in this manner face massive retaliation from the powerful capital-exporting countries through, inter alia, the cutting of trade and commercial ties, the freezing of assets, retaliatory diplomatic moves, and court action in the home state of the investors. The principles of international law and policy concerning expropriation are gradually evolving through diplomatic negotiations, international and domestic courts and tribunals, resolutions …

Impacts Of The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act On The Development Of Energy Resources In The Pacific Northwest: An Analysis Of The Resource Acquisition Priority Scheme, Preston Michie

Seattle University Law Review

This article discusses how the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act may affect the region's choice of resources to construct. Potential choices range from conventional resources such as coal and nuclear to renewable resources such as geothermal, biomass, wave, tidal, solar, and wind. In addition, conservation and cogeneration are now viable energy alternatives. This discussion focuses on PNEPPCA's resource acquisition priority scheme and provides an overview of the incentives and disincentives which may influence the resource selection process. Rather than predicting which resources the region's utilities may ultimately construct, this article analyzes the legal barriers proponents of particular …
