Permitting Problems: Environmental Justice And The Miccosukee Indian Tribe, Charles Prior
Environmental and Earth Law Journal (EELJ)
The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians is a federally recognized tribe that works and resides in the Everglades region of the State of Florida. The Miccosukee have been battling lax water quality standards through lawsuits since the 1990’s. Recent rulings in federal court held that the State of Florida has failed to comply with the Clean Water Act and ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to set nutrient criteria for the water bodies in the state of Florida until the Florida Department of Environmental Protection complies with the Clean Water Act.

State Conservation As Settler Colonial Governance At Ka‘Ena Point, Hawai‘I, Bianca Isaki
Environmental and Earth Law Journal (EELJ)
This paper argues, by illustrating, that liberal multiculturalism and natural resources are interlinked strategies of settler colonial governance in political debates surrounding the construction of a “predator-proof” fence for conservation purposes across Native Hawaiian lands of deep cultural and historical significance at Ka`ena Point, a state wilderness park in Hawai`i. First, this paper shifts debates framed in terms of the seeming recalcitrance of Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners to recognize the necessity of natural resource management. Second, it considers how these political debates are repeated in the context of legal questions over the forms through which Native Hawaiian cultural claims may …

Renewable Energy Through Agency Action, Amy L. Stein
UF Law Faculty Publications
Despite the many societal benefits associated with renewable energy, it is used to generate only about 5 percent of our nation's electricity needs. The bulk of governmental efforts to rectify this situation have disproportionately impacted private actors. This Article argues that the federal government should expand its efforts to more fully capture the gains that can be achieved by targeting both private and public actors, particularly federal agencies. Federal agencies have enormous purchasing power that can be channeled toward using electricity and fuels derived from renewable energy. Federal agencies are some of the largest consumers of electricity. Federal agencies manage …

The Bonneville Power Administration's Energy Curtailment Problem: An Analysis Of Its Redispatch Policy And Oversupply Protocol P And Their Impact On Washington's Wind Power Producers, Utility Companies, And Energy Independence Act, Drew Pearsall
Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is the primary transmitter of power in the Pacific Northwest. Charged with operating the federal dams on the Columbia River, the BPA also maintains and operates 15,000 miles of high-voltage power lines that transmit power produced by federal and non-federal power sources alike. Under federal law, the BPA must accept onto its transmission system power from non-federal sources in a manner that is fair, non-preferential, and does not discriminate against non-federal sources. Recently, strong snowpack and periods of heavy runoff have stressed the Federal Columbia River Power System and has led to a problem: the …
Power To The People: Why We Need Full Federal Preemption Of Electrical Transmission Regulation,

Power To The People: Why We Need Full Federal Preemption Of Electrical Transmission Regulation, Max Hensley
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
State and federal governments have made significant investments in the development and installation of renewable energy technology. However, further increases in renewable power use have been stymied by the continued mismatch between the national interest in connecting consumers with utility-scale wind and solar installations and state and local control over the siting of electrical transmission lines. Because renewable power potential is often located far from consumers, transmission lines must cross multiple jurisdictions whose local interests have tended to prevent or significantly delay development. This Note analyzes that disconnect, reviews academic and legislative proposals to overcome it, and proposes a way …
