Abstract

This seminar will discuss on-going work in the area of energyshed development and its associated regulatory structures and land use implications. Specifically, the talk will focus on the concept of a regional energyshed and examine the ways in which social, jurisdictional, and regulatory constraints present clear and frequently unnecessary hurdles to reducing energy use.
