Energy, Economics and the Environment: Cases and Materials (Foundation Press 2000) is the first major text to provide a comprehensive overview of issues facing the energy industry, including the electric sector, in the era of deregulation. The book is organized around general themes in the history, law and policy of energy regulation in the United States, with a particular emphasis on economic and environmental regulation issues. The book is designed for traditional energy law courses, as well as courses on regulated industries, electricity and natural gas deregulation, or advanced courses for students in environmental, natural resource, or oil and gas programs.

Environmental aspects of energy regulation are integrated throughout the book. The basic schemes for hydroelectric power, coal, oil, natural gas, electricity and nuclear power are explored. Several chapters are devoted to competitive restructuring of the natural gas and electric utility industries, including a chapter on stranded cost issues.

A table of contents, a list of adoptions, and some useful links for those using the book are available below. Please stay tuned for updates to the chapters.
