The Law of Clean Energy: Efficiency and Renewables Michael B. Gerrard, Editor "A wonderful resource for lawyers and policymakers alike, The Law of Clean Energy provides an essential overview of the laws, policies, and incentives that govern energy efficiency and renewable energy. This book offers a crucial lay-of-the-land for anyone interested in how U.S. law and policy promote, or in some cases obstruct, the transition to a clean energy economy."      Jody Freeman, Archibald Cox Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, Counselor for Energy and Climate Change in the White House, 2009-2010 The framework of U.S. laws governing energy efficiency and renewable energy is one of fragmentation across levels of government, regions of the country, types of energy resources, regulatory techniques, and policy objectives. The Law of Clean Energy is a current, clearly written explanation of the laws that apply and the critical legal issues involved in the transition to a clean energy economy. It describes the most important provisions to help practitioners work with these laws. On the cutting-edge of some of the most important issues in environmental and energy law, chapters in The Law of Clean Energy are written and organized to help practitioners understand the role that efficiency and renewables will play in combating climate change. Part I discusses the energy efficiency laws at federal, state, and local levels, as well as the mandates and goals written into law for renewable energy. It also considers the siting and permitting of renewable energy facilities. Part II covers tax and nontax incentives for efficiency and renewables, relevant aspects of the sale of electricity and ratemaking, the ways that transactions for the financing of efficiency and renewables are structured, and government consumption and purchase of energy. Part III explores the use of energy, and how in particular sectors such as agriculture and forestry, appliances, lighting, computers, buildings, motor vehicles, and distributed generation. Part IV covers different kinds of renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, biofuels, hydropower, and tides, waves, and ocean currents) as well as energy transmission and storage. A 50-state survey of the state laws on energy efficiency and renewables closes the book. Periodic updates will be made through an online update site.  Learn More »     Visit us at www.ababooks.org T
