Jeremy Firestone submitted a comment in January 2014 to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) regarding DNREC’s proposed rule to implement Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Cost Cap Provisions, 17 DE Reg. 600 (12/01/13). This comment followed written comments filed in 2012 as part of Professor Firestone’s participation in a workshop on the development of the proposed rules.

Jeremy Firestone; James Corbett and Kateryna Samoteskul submitted a comment to the United States Coast Guard on its proposed Atlantic Ocean “Port Access Route Study,” Federal Register Vol. 76, No. 91 (May 11, 2011). Our comment recommend the Cost Guard analyze whether having ships transit farther offshore and building wind projects in the vacated space offshore would result in net societal benefits. We subsequently did the analysis for the mid-Atlantic. Published doi:10.1016/j.jenvman.2014.03.026.

Kempton and Firestone, Comments on Blue Ribbon Panel Interim Report on Offshore Wind Power (13 Feb 2006). In the words of another commentator, an amazingly tight, analytical, yet scathing review of the Interim Report. The Final Report was massively revised, and ultimately resulted in preliminary environmental studies and an RFP for a 350 MW facility. Compare Interim Report and Final Report, or see NJ state web site at Blue Ribbon Panel on Development of Wind Turbine Facilities in Coastal Waters.
