- Title
The Renewable Energy Footprint.
- Authors
Outka, Uma
- Abstract
The article discusses the implications of renewable energy development for land use and land use law and the integration of the land use context in energy policy to reduce the energy footprint. It explores the shift to renewable energy, and the existing regulatory frameworks, particularly power plant and transmission line siting, and the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). It highlights the significance of addressing the cumulative land impacts of energy policy in developing energy and land use law. It cites the limits of federalism to address the issue, and identifies five key objectives that can be integrated to existing regulatory frameworks. These include avoiding new infrastructure/new land impact, reuse land, and linking transmission planning and renewable energy policy.
