Energy, particularly in the form of electric power, is basic to human welfare in the modern world. But the fuels and sources of energy that have sustained us for the last century or longer are now recognized as having limits and even tragic flaws. Particularly in light of emerging data about the catastrophic effects of climate change, alternative energy will be vital to the public welfare and national security in the future. This course explores the emerging field of renewable and alternative energy supplies. It reviews emerging local, state, and federal laws and policies that promote (and impede) such sources. The Obama Administration has promised an aggressive agenda to promote alternative energy sources, and this course will attempt to keep up with the changing face of the industry. It will also explore possible conflicts between initiatives at the federal level and those at the state and local level.
