Renewable Energy Law

This course will examine the law, policy, and economics of renewable energy both in the United States and internationally.  A major focus of the course will be the state and federal laws affecting the use of each major source of renewable energy.  Specific topics will include renewable portfolio standards, subsidies, feed-in-tariffs, siting, and project financing. Class discussions will be held against the backdrop of climate change, energy security, nuclear power policy, and the market disrupting rise of “fracked” natural gas and shale oil.
