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.

Senator Bingaman was the Chair, and Senator Murkowski, the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Jeremy Firestone submitted a comment in 2010 to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) concerning the State of Delaware’s request to broaden its authority to consider offshore alternative energy, including offshore wind power, and the scope of its jurisdiction under interstate consistency certification.

Note: This is a good short summary of resource and U.S. policy issues regarding alternative energy on the OCS, with concentration on offshore wind.

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.
