Book excerpt: Legislators in a majority of states have recently embarked on novel experiments in alternative energy policy through renewable portfolio standards (RPSs). In many states, RPS policies have been used to spur public and private development of land-based wind power generation facilities. In fact, many states see wind power as an increasingly essential element in their energy portfolios. However, while a few states have investigated the potential of offshore wind projects, or wind farms, none have actually erected wind turbines in their waters. But in many places, the winds of change are blowing. No longer are the continental coasts seen as the only viable sites for offshore wind development. Increasingly, energy policy makers are turning their attention to the Great Lakes. On January 15, 2009, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) released its final report of a yearlong study assessing the potential for offshore wind-power generation in Lakes Michigan and Superior. Despite much anticipation, the study's results were inconclusive, at best. On one hand, the PSCW found that it is “technologically feasible” to generate electricity from wind turbines sited in the middle of Lake Michigan. However, on the other hand the report also conceded that there are a number of “significant technical, economic, environmental, and legal issues to resolve.” This Comment addresses the most significant legal concerns related to the development of offshore wind farms in Lakes Michigan and Superior, particularly whether and how the existing Wisconsin and federal regulatory schemes would accommodate offshore wind farm development. The Comment also discusses lessons that might be learned from two recent European policy initiatives: (1) the European Union's 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, which established a comprehensive renewable energy regulatory system based on principles of extensive coordination and cooperation among various governmental entities, and (2) the United Kingdom's Planning Act 2008, which considerably streamlined the permitting process for substantial national infrastructure projects such as large wind farms, but whose central permitting authority has been typecast as being undemocratic and authoritarian. The Comment identifies opportunities for Wisconsin state legislators to address offshore wind energy in the Great Lakes while simplifying the state's current regulatory scheme, and discusses the potential for federal-state collaboration in efforts to develop the Great Lakes region's renewable energy industries, generally, and offshore wind, specifically.

This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of electricity by wind energy has the potential to reduce environmental impacts caused by the use of fossil fuels. Although the use of wind energy to generate electricity is increasing rapidly in the United States, government guidance to help communities and developers evaluate and plan proposed wind-energy projects is lacking. Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects offers an analysis of the environmental benefits and drawbacks of wind energy, along with an evaluation guide to aid decision-making about projects. It includes a case study of the mid-Atlantic highlands, a mountainous area that spans parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. This book will inform policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed roadmap of technical, economic, and institutional actions by the wind industry, the wind research community, and others to optimize wind's potential contribution to a cleaner, more reliable, low-carbon, domestic energy generation portfolio, utilizing U.S. manu-facturing and a U.S. workforce. The roadmap is intended to be the beginning of an evolving, collaborative, and necessarily dynamic process. It thus suggests an approach of continual updates at least every two years, informed by its analysis activities. Roadmap actions are identified in nine topical areas, introduced below.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the possible societal impacts of wind energy projects and explains the potential issues faced when siting, constructing, and operating a wind energy project. This book begins with a history of wind power and the social impacts of both electricity and wind power from a historical perspective, a discussion of basic electrical terms, and a primer on the conversion of power in the wind to electricity. Much of the second half of the book is devoted to comparing wind energy to other forms of electric generation, both renewable and non-renewable sources. In order to have a true understanding of the impact of wind energy on society, one also has to have a thorough understanding of the impacts that other sources of electric generation have, such as fossil-fuelled plants or nuclear power plants. The comparison of electric generation sources includes a review of how such sources are typically utilized within the electric system, as well as the economic factors and environmental considerations that affect which resources utilities or operators of electric grids have to take into account. The authors conclude with a discussion of energy policies in the U.S., individual states, and foreign nations, how these policies influence the use of renewable energy, and what our future may hold in terms of energy supply and demand. Some highlights of this book are: Discusses the wind energy impacts on the environment, local economy, electric utilities, individuals and communities Provides a visual explanation of wind energy principles through tables, graphs, maps, illustrations and photographs Offers a comprehensive overview of the issues associated with the creation and use of wind energy Models chapters around an existing university curriculum Spanning the broad range of environmental, financial, policy and other topics that define and determine the relationships between wind energy technology and our energy-dependent society, Wind Energy Essentials is a resource for students, universities, and the entire wind energy industry.
