"DEREGULATION OF THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY
This research paper discusses various legal aspects of the deregulation of the electric power industry in the United States, especially the legal constraints on the power of government, state and federal, to regulate the industry and the rights of the electric utilities (EUs) to recover through the public rate-making process costs and commitments undertaken by them before deregulation becomes fully effective. Generally, the regulatory power of state governments stems from their police powers to regulate an industry which affects the public interest. Constitutional limitations on that power under the Fifth Amendment and the Contract Clause are relatively weak: however, the industry can be expected to use its considerable leverage with state public utility commissions (PUCs) to work out ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ethical considerations associated with the deregulation of energy, focusing on the electricity sector in the United States. The paper examines the issue from the perspective of both proponents (advantages) and critics (disadvantages) in order to attempt to ascertain if energy deregulation can be an ethical course of action.
From the Paper
"How can we reconcile these positions? Democratic, local control of power production is certainly a noble, even ethically important, goal. But if deregulation only results in more corporate control of energy production with less public oversight, it is certainly not an ethical choice. Perhaps the most ethical and rational path would be to remove government's monopolistic control while retaining the public's capacity to oversee the energy market. If policies were put into place regulate the actions of especially the major energy producers while encouraging the development of local, alternative power generation, then it might be possible to achieve the ideals of the deregulation proponents while avoiding the dangers of corporate corruption."

Summary
From the Paper
"One of the most profound social questions of the modern day is the nature of the market addition on fossil fuel usage. Within the global economy the fossil fuel industry, and the worlds dependence on it has driven prices of fuel to enormous levels contributing to a global market situation where a very few hold a growing percentage of wealth and the rest must struggle to eek out an existence with what's left. "Today, more than half the world's population lives on less than $2 per day, and almost 1.1 billion people live in extreme poverty, defined as less than $1 per day." (Rice, 76) Though this may seem divergent of the topic at hand, which is global dependence on fossil fuel, the issues are interrelated."

"REGULATION/DEREGULATION ISSUES
Munn v. Illinois
Munn v. Illinois [94 U.S. 13 (1876)] established a legal precedent related to both interstate commerce and private property rights in the United States. The State of Illinois enacted a law designed to protect both farmers and consumers by setting maximum charge for storing grain in privately owned elevators and warehouses. The enactment of the law occurred at the behest of the Grange movement, which was an organization that promoted farming interests. Another requirement of the Illinois law was that warehouse operations must obtain a license from the state to operate grain storage facilities.
Ira Munn violated both of the above-mentioned provisions of the Illinois law. Munn operated a grain storage facility in Chicago without ..."

From the Paper
"The following research is on the subject of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. Airlines in the United Stats are riding the crest of a wave of increased passenger travel the likes of which has not been seen since the introduction of the jet into commercial aviation in 1960. Passenger-miles are up, new orders for aircraft from both domestic and foreign manufacturers are up as the airlines replace their aging fleets and capitalize on new designs and new technology that allow them to fly more people on less fuel than ever before. And airline profits are up as well. To fly the new planes which carry people who have never flown before, the airlines are in a frantic scramble for new pilots, since it is also true that the "first generation" of World War II pilots is now retiring, and the airlines are wooing hundreds of pilots a month away from the ...

Abstract
The paper argues that the Federal government?s policy towards deregulation had a dramatic impact on various industries. The paper primarily focuses on the airline, petroleum, trucking and banking industries. The paper continues, showing that deregulation was a big part of President Reagan?s economic policy. He saw over regulation as a contributing factor to the economic problems that the country was facing when he took office in 1981. The paper also examines how the deregulation policy has allowed industries to respond better to the market needs and operate more cost effectively.
From the Paper
"Labor unions have been opposed to deregulation because competition has forced down wage demands. Previously labor disputes were accepted and the airlines would use this to justify the CAB ordered fare increases. Labor costs have gone from 42 percent of operation costs to 34 percent and the revenue per employee ratio has increased."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the sources available to create power and electricity. He looks at how technology is used to take advantage of the forces of nature available. The paper highlights how up until recently only the power created by falling water has been explored and used successfully in a number of applications. Sun, wind, waves, rivers, tides and the heat from radioactive decay in the earth's core are all looked at as being renew ables, in other words they give continuous sources. The paper concludes with a look at all of the environmental aspects of using these renewable sources, the arguments for and against each one including the aesthetic issues that arise. Introduction Solar Energy Wind Energy Rivers Geothermal Relating Renewable to Base-Load Electricity Demand Environmental Aspects
From the Paper
"The main role of solar energy in the future will be that of direct heating. Much of our energy need is for heat below 60oC - e.g. in hot water systems. A lot more, particularly in industry, is for heat in the range 60 - 110oC. [2] Together these may account for a significant proportion of primary energy use in industrialized nations. The first need is readily supplied by solar power much of the time in some places and the second application commercially is probably not far off."

Abstract
The paper discusses the "greenhouse effect" and the 1987 Montreal Protocol. The paper discusses the controversies surrounding global warming but relates that whether global warming is absolute fact or not, numerous scientific studies contend that greenhouse gases are emitted by virtually all economic sectors and the potential for global warming does exist. The paper lists the chemical benefits alternative fuels have on the atmosphere and global warming. The paper points out that the direct effects of alternative fuels on the atmosphere and global warming are difficult to forecast and impossible to measure. The paper includes images, tables and copies of appended sources.

From the Paper
"Contrary to global warming theory, a study published in the Annals of Glaciology challenges global warming and contends that facts confirm the global warming concept to be inconsistent with trends of the Antarctic ice. This study reports that NASA satellite observations determined the Antarctic has not melted, and instead has increased during the last 20 years the. Claire Parkinson, a NASA climatologist who ". . . analyzed the role of sea ice in the global-climate system since 1979 . . . measured the duration of Antarctic ice seasons . . . and found nearly twice as much land that had seasons increasing by one day per year between 1979 and 1999 than areas where the opposite occurred." (George) Numerous other scientific studies reportedly support the recent NASA observations."

Australia's National Electricity Market, 2006.
This paper evaluates the microeconomic reforms within the Australian electricity industry.
1,661 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 54.95
»

Abstract
The paper examines the National Electricity Market (NEM) formed to facilitate the supply of electricity using free market principles. The paper describes the reforms made in the key sectors of the industry and analyzes the effects of such changes on consumers and society as a whole. The paper shows how the microeconomic reforms have helped free up competition, offer more choice to consumers and improved efficiency in distribution and production. The paper notes, however, that privatization of public assets is a contentious issue and has already imposed constraints on supply and resulted in higher prices in Victoria and South Australia. The paper concludes that it would be in the national interest to closely monitor progress with reforms within these states before similar policies are implemented elsewhere.
From the Paper
"A substantial policy shift in Australia, since the 1980s, has been for microeconomic reforms within key industries, to offer greater efficiency in economy and decrease red tape, lowering barriers to entry for competitors in the hope of creating a pure free market. Thus since the 1990s focus has moved to the electricity industry, to further reforms made in other sectors in the economy. Electricity is an essential commodity, vital for sustained growth and development throughout the whole economy. The electrical industry is also an industry traditionally dominated by the states, which fostered their own - often inefficient - public utilities, which were in charge of generation, distribution and retail, often with little or no private competition."

Abstract
This paper examines the American metropolitan transportation system and maintains that it is in dire need of improvement, especially in terms of reducing air pollution. The paper discusses how the massive use of fossil fuels derived from oil is becoming prohibitively expensive, but that the gravest consequence is the constant emission of poisons into the atmosphere from vehicle exhausts. The paper points out that this problem has become especially acute over the last thirty years and needs to be resolved through the use of alternative fuels.

"The American metropolitan transportation system is in dire need of improvement, especially in terms of reducing air pollution. The massive use of fossil fuels derived from oil is becoming prohibitively expensive, but the gravest consequence is the constant emission of poisons into the atmosphere from vehicle exhausts. This problem has become especially acute over the last thirty years and needs to be resolved through the use of alternative fuels. The initial development of fuel-efficient cars was primarily in response to the OPEC oil crisis of the nineteen-seventies and the resulting dramatic rise in gasoline prices for American motorists. Up until the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Americans drove high-powered, gas-guzzling cars and since gasoline was so cheap no consumers were interested in buying fuel-efficient cars."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the economic structure of the power and electricity industry, which today markets energy at the wholesale and retail level. The paper illustrates the effects of various marketing structures such as pricing strategies, economies of scale, barriers to entry and other such concepts. The author points out that a continuously increasing demand for electricity and efficiency gains stemming from competition and mergers is changing the basic structure of the power industry.
From the Paper
"In the beginning, these small, privately owned company?s represented small individual monopolies. Within a certain geographical area, there was no competition. If the customer wanted power, they paid the price demanded. Every private monopoly was a price maker. There was no substitute product and no competitive pricing scheme. If the customer wanted the product, they had only one place to get it and either paid the price or did without. This type of market structure leads to the companies realizing increasing profit margins."
