Energy

How electric power generation, carbon-based and renewable fuels, and energy infrastructure are managed is governed by a myriad of environmental and energy related federal and state laws and policy.

For environmental lawyers, legal issues related to energy laws and regulations may cover permitting, energy siting, infrastructure development, scope of regulatory authority, market design, and the environmental implications of all the above within the context of both traditional and emerging energy demand.
