About
Welcome to the Renewable + Law BlogSM! When the legal professionals of the Stoel Rives renewable energy group first created this blog in 2007, we hoped it would serve as a catalyst for lively discussions about renewable energy and climate policies, major renewable energy projects, emerging technologies, market developments, tax credits and industry scuttlebutt. More than 500 posts later, and with the support of a sophisticated and global readership, our blog has exceeded those expectations – and then some.
Of course, our work is far from complete. The concerns over global warming, energy policy, economic growth and national security that helped propel renewable energy into a major global industry have an even sharper focus today. Legislators at both the state and federal level continue to push for new laws – both in support of and in opposition to renewable energy solutions – while global energy players increasingly look to exploit new market opportunities both here in the United States and abroad.
To help our readers make sense of it all, Renewable + Law BlogSM tracks all major policy and legal developments impacting the U.S. renewable energy industry. Whether your interest involves solar energy, wind energy, biomass, ocean and hydrokinetic energy, biofuels, waste-to-energy, geothermal, electric energy storage or other clean technologies, our attorney authors have got you covered.
Thank you for your interest, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
