Nuisance Law
Give this one a try later!
if someone harms your property, can move
- must show substantial cause and effect
- solution to these problems is typically pay-off
- very specific, hard to prove
The two types of nuisance are private nuisance and public nuisance. A
private nuisance is a civil wrong; it is the unreasonable, unwarranted, or
unlawful use of one's property in a manner that substantially interferes with
the enjoyment or use of another individual's property, without an actual
Trespass or physical invasion to the land. A public nuisance is a criminal
wrong; it is an act or omission that obstructs, damages, or inconveniences
the rights of the community
Alienation
,Give this one a try later!
Alienation as a result of low social capital and less investment in children --
total disconnect from society
Suburbs don't even have their own form of alienation --> latch onto others
because of lack of creativity
Four Goals of Macroeconomics
Give this one a try later!
Economic Growth
Low Unemployment
Low Inflation
Sustainable Trade Deficits
Missing:
Environmental Sustainability (goals not quantifiable, natural
resources/environment subset of economy - poor view point)
Equity (middle class is shrinking, wealth distribution - economic issue!
doesn't consider quality of life)
Interstate Commerce Clause
Give this one a try later!
Where the federal government gets the authority to regulate the
environment
- flimsy way to build entire type of statutory law
,American Exceptionalism
Give this one a try later!
wanting to teach history but leave out civil disobedience
(example of narcissism)
PURPA
Give this one a try later!
1978
opened market up to some competition
utilities forced to buy electricity at voided cost
facility given power purchasing agreement for 15 years - bankable
meant to promote energy conservation (reduce demand) and promote
greater use of domestic energy and renewable energy (increase supply).
Discounting the Future

Advertising makes us live in the present
"Present counts"
fixation on consumerism bleeds into savings
Examples
Climate Change
Smoking
Taking easier classes

3 Levels/Sources of Law
Give this one a try later!
1) Constitution: all laws must be ruled constitutional
2) Congress, state legislatures, statutory laws
3) Precedent: rule of law, accepted that way based on past judicial systems
(70s)
Tax Incentives
Give this one a try later!
Pros
Good for encouraging the adaptation of small-scale distributive energy
Have been politically feasible until now
Governments can set limits on how much they will spend
Negatives
Tend to end abruptly with lags between renewals
May be prone too free-riding
Improvement Target
Should include a prescribed phase-out period that is linked to achieving
certain targets
