Substantial updates on energy statistics in every chapter, such as the types of energy produced and consumed in the United States, changes to coal production and exports, increasing oil and gas production, continued expansion of renewable energy infrastructure and battery storage, and declining numbers of active nuclear power plant projects.
The casebook includes a range of recently-released cases and discussion of these cases, including Supreme Court cases addressing federalism issues in electricity through demand response and capacity issues , federal cases addressing the dormant Commerce Clause and preemption of state clean energy laws New York and Illinois statutes supporting nuclear power , state cases addressing state preemption of local regulation of hydraulic fracturing, and a new state case addressing the definition of distributed solar electricity as a public utility.
Many chapters describe and cite recent proposed and finalized rules to reduce environmental regulation of energy externalities through withdrawals of previous finalized rules, including, for example, rules for oil and gas methane emissions, automobile fuel efficiency and emissions, greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants, and other environmental regulations, as well as cases addressing these rules.
The book also includes timely discussion of the most recent status of energy infrastructure projects, such as the Keystone XL pipeline and proposed coal export terminals, and legal challenges to these projects.

This text, appropriate for energy courses or for any other physical science course emphasising energy, explores the basic physical principles related to energy use and the environment.
Cram Just the FACTS studyguides give all of the outlines, highlights, notes, and quizzes for your textbook with optional online comprehensive practice tests. Only Cram is Textbook Specific. Accompanys: This book emerges from the recognition that energy, environment and ecosystems are dynamically and inextricably connected. Author : Roger A. The text explains the basic physical principles behind the use of energy, including the study of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and atomic and nuclear physics.
It also covers crucial environmental questions that currently are receiving much public attention, such as global warming, radioactive waste, municipal solid waste, and nuclear energy production materials. The text can be used in physics, technology, physical science, and environmental science courses for non-science majors. Many of the standard topics found in introductory physics textbooks are included.
