Building-Related Renewable Energy And The Case Of 360 State Street, 2011 University of Connecticut
Building-Related Renewable Energy And The Case Of 360 State Street, Sara Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
This Article argues that a well-conceived policy approach to building-related renewable energy (“BRRE”) — that is, renewable energy incorporated into inhabited structures and used by those structures’ occupants — could transform the way we produce and consume energy by maximizing efficiency while simultaneously minimizing energy sprawl. The vast majority of Americans favor renewable energy, at least in concept. Yet private property owners still face significant obstacles in trying to incorporate renewable energy into their projects. This Article analyzes barriers faced by the project team for 360 State Street, an award-winning, mixed-use LEED® Platinum building in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. Among …

Using Sustainability Criteria For Biofuels In A Legal Context, 2011 Law Faculty, University of Lund
Using Sustainability Criteria For Biofuels In A Legal Context, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Evgenia Pavlovskaia
In order to analyze the empirical material of the doctoral thesis on the EU sustainability criteria for biofuels, a specially constructed model has been applied. This model has been created on the basis of two separate models of two Swedish researchers, Westerlund and Lundquist. The first component in this so-called combined model is the legal operationalization model of Staffan Westerlund, and the other is the implementation steering model of Lennart Lundquist.
Nuclear Enlightenment, 2011 Selected Works
Nuclear Enlightenment, Daniel J. Boyle
Daniel J Boyle
This article is intended for nations considering launching large nuclear programs, like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as they evaluate the merits of designs to meet specific national requirements. Globally there are 433 nuclear power plants in operation in 30 countries, generating over 13% of the world’s electricity. Of these, all but 17 are water-cooled. Of the 17 that are not water-cooled reactors, one is cooled with liquid sodium and 16 are cooled with carbon dioxide. This article traces the historic roots of why the industry coalesced around water-cooled reactors, the consequent design problems, and describes an alternative design based …
Unfettering The Grid: Spurring Transmission Investment By Reducing Regulatory Ambiguity, 2011 George Washington University
Unfettering The Grid: Spurring Transmission Investment By Reducing Regulatory Ambiguity, Andrew Emerson
Andrew Emerson
Streamlining the regulatory framework that underlies the development of the United State’s energy grid is essential to maintaining current levels of energy reliability while incorporating new renewable energy resources. Since 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC ) has advanced regulatory policies intended to develop competitive energy markets in the United State, however, these regulations have consistently failed to provide specific formulas by which market participants could determine how much they should be charged for the use of transmission lines. In doing so, these regulations have resulted in ongoing judicial controversy and costly project delays.
This paper argues that to …

Ch 21. 'Future Perspectives On Solar Fuels', Thomas A. Faunce
Thomas A Faunce
This chapter opens by examining whether the research and development of molecular solar fuels will be characterized in future by its promotion of fundamental societal virtues such as equality and environmental sustainability. As a thought experiment, it presents a vision of some important elements of such a future world—one where energy is primarily not only a matter of global artificial photosynthesis (GAP), but of such virtues. Central to the future perspective presented here is nanotechnological construction with enhanced efficiency of each aspect of the natural photosynthetic process into units capable of inexpensive mass production for domestic use. This involves a …

Governing Planetary Nanomedicine: Environmental Sustainability And A Unesco Universal Declaration On The Bioethics And Human Rights Of Natural And Artificial Photosynthesis (Global Solar Fuels And Foods)., Thomas A. Faunce
Thomas A Faunce
Environmental and public health-focused sciences are increasingly characterised as constituting an emerging discipline—planetary medicine. From a governance perspective, the ethical components of that discipline may usefully be viewed as bestowing upon our ailing natural environment the symbolic moral status of a patient. Such components emphasise, for example, the origins and content of professional and social virtues and related ethical principles needed to promote global governance systems and policies that reduce ecological stresses and pathologies derived from human overpopulation, selfishness and greed— such as pollution, loss of biodiversity, deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as provide necessary energy, water and …
Challenges To Australia’S National Health Policy From Trade And Investment Agreements, 2011 Australian National University
Challenges To Australia’S National Health Policy From Trade And Investment Agreements, Thomas A. Faunce
Thomas A Faunce
Recent federal trade policy commitments concerning the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiations (against changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and against inclusion of an investor state provision) could protect Australia’s tobacco control legislation and Australia's sovereign capacity to regulate public health and environmental policy
The Proposed Ban On Certain Nanomaterials For Electrical And Electronic Equipment In Europe: Global Security Implications, 2011 Australian National University
The Proposed Ban On Certain Nanomaterials For Electrical And Electronic Equipment In Europe: Global Security Implications, Thomas A. Faunce, Hitoshi Nasu
Thomas A Faunce
International collaboration on nanotechnology governance has so far paid little attention to security implications of regulating the use of nanotechnology. For example, the Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations (initiated by the International Centre for Technological Assessment) developed 'Principles for the Oversight of Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials' to provide a set of ethical standards for nanotechnology research and development (Kimbrell, 2009). Similar initiatives are observed at the national level, as has been seen in the Swiss Retailers Association Code of Conduct and the UK's Responsible NanoCode (Bowman and Hodge, 2009, pp.149-152). The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has also been active …

3. A Vehicle Miles Tax Reduces Manufacturer Incentives to Build Electric Vehicles
It follows that if consumers have few incentives to buy electric vehicles, manufacturers will have less of an incentive to make them. If electric cars were not in demand, then why would anyone make them and try to sell them? In a market that is finding electric vehicles to be a tough sell, we need to encourage the sale and production of electric vehicles as much as possible. The effect of enacting a mileage-based tax will be the attrition of automakers producing electric vehicles, furthering the nation’s dependency …

Geothermal Resources Under The Mining Law Regime--Problems & Possibilities, 2011 Lewis & Clark Law School
Geothermal Resources Under The Mining Law Regime--Problems & Possibilities, Richard A. Grisel
Richard A Grisel
The development of geothermal resources has been greatly hampered by the legal and institutional framework governing geothermal energy resources. This framework has been plagued by conflicting mining and water laws, anachronistic common law systems of property rights, problematic legal classifications of geothermal resources, and jurisdictional variances from state to state and between states and the Federal government. These issues have combined to significantly hinder the development of what will be a vital resource for our nation’s future energy needs.
This thesis concerns one way to address the suboptimal development of geothermal energy resources. Using the Federal acquisition of exclusive airspace …

Rebuttal In Defense Of The Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement, 2011 University of Washington School of Law
Rebuttal In Defense Of The Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement, Michael A. Swiger, Sharon L. White
Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy
This article rebuts certain assertions made by Mr. Thomas Schlosser in a recent article entitled Dewatering Trust Responsibility: The New Klamath River Hydroelectric and Restoration Agreements. The Klamath hydroelectric dams are not causing degrading fish disease conditions in the Klamath Basin. Dewatering Trust Responsibility overlooks the effects of water diversions for agriculture, pollution from pesticides and industrial operations and habitat degradation from timbering, ranching and other human activities on current Basin conditions. Under the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license, PacifiCorp is taking extensive measures to protect aquatic resources in the Basin prior to …
