The Elderly Have Spoken: Is Anybody Listening? The Impact Of Fuel Costs On The Elderly, Scott A. Bass, Richard Rowland May 1980

The Elderly Have Spoken: Is Anybody Listening? The Impact Of Fuel Costs On The Elderly, Scott A. Bass, Richard Rowland

Gerontology Faculty Publication Series

This report contains the findings of a study carried out by the Gerontology Program at the University of Massachusetts Boston concerning the effects of the escalating fuel costs on the lives of the elderly who must pay for their own heat. Through the use of an interview format known as "modified critical incident" technique, a team of mostly elderly students spent several weeks during the winter of 1980 eliciting responses from more than 100 elderly individuals from throughout the greater Boston area. Not surprisingly , this study has revealed a number of profound impacts that the radical turn of economic …

A Report On Utility Participation In Solar Energy Development, James P. Lough Jan 1980

A Report On Utility Participation In Solar Energy Development, James P. Lough

Duquesne Law Review

The promise of solar energy use in remedying the critical need for energy sources which provide alternatives to oil is the concern of this article. The author examines the role that utility companies could perform in the development and marketing of solar energy systems and considers the potential for anticompetitive abuse that might result. He concludes, however, that congressional plans for solar development have placed unfair, unwarranted, and counterproductive restrictions on utilities and may have precluded otherwise promising development.


Siting =/= Protection: A Note On Solar Access, Dale Goble Jan 1980

Siting =/= Protection: A Note On Solar Access, Dale Goble

Articles

In assuring solar access, it is necessary to distinguish between siting collectors and protecting their access to sunshine once they have been placed. Siting requires the flexibility to balance potentially competing uses of land; it is best accomplished by zoning and land use planning. Once a collector is sited, however, flexibility must give way to certainty. The necessary certainty cannot be provided by zoning, which conveys no legally enforceable right. It is best accomplished by the recognition of a solar right through a priority-based permit system.

Restrictions On Electric Utility Advertising, Michigan Law Review Jan 1980

Restrictions On Electric Utility Advertising, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note reconsiders the constitutionality of New York's restriction on advertising by electric utilities. Section I explains how and why the Supreme Court's current analysis of the first amendment distinguishes commercial speech from other forms of speech. Section II looks at what protection is due commercial speech and weighs the competing interests in the specific context of utility advertising. The Note concludes that states may restrict utility advertising to encourage energy conservation.

Automatic Fuel Adjustment Clauses: Time For A Hearing, Marshall A. Leaffer Jan 1980

Automatic Fuel Adjustment Clauses: Time For A Hearing, Marshall A. Leaffer

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Through automatic fuel adjustment clauses, utilities in most states are permitted automatically to pass through to customers any increase in fuel costs, thereby circumventing a general rate hearing before a public utilities commission where the validity of any such rate increase could be publicly examined In this Article the author discusses the benefits and detriments of the automatic fuel adjustment clause, using the clause that existed in Ohio until quite recently as an example. He concludes that such a rate increase without a hearing can no longer be justified on the basis of uncontrollable fuel costs. Instead he advocates adoption …

The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation (And Thermal Power Plant Relief) Act, Ralph Cavanagh Jan 1980

The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation (And Thermal Power Plant Relief) Act, Ralph Cavanagh

Seattle University Law Review

Supporters of the proposed Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act have not produced satisfactory answers to two fundamental questions. First, why does the region require significant new incentives for the construction of nuclear and coal-fired power plants? Second, why must Congress link urgently needed encouragement of conservation and renewable energy measures to the creation of such incentives?


The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act-Solution For A Regional Dilemma, Henry M. Jackson Jan 1980

The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act-Solution For A Regional Dilemma, Henry M. Jackson

Seattle University Law Review

For the past four decades, the Bonneville Power Administration(BPA) has played a singular and powerful role in developing the Northwest regional electric power system, and indirectly in the regional economy that system supports. The federal government's decision during the first half of this century to develop multi-purpose water resource projects led to the construction of many dams, most of them in the Western United States, most built since the mid-1930s, and most including hydroelectric generation. As we enter the 1980s, fundamental changes have occurred. Historically, BPA has had sufficient resources to sell power to any utility or other customer in …
