Summary

"Renewable Energy Mandates" explores how governments worldwide use legal mechanisms to promote sustainable energy, addressing climate change and energy security. The book examines incentives, like tax credits, penalties for non-compliance, and infrastructure investment obligations driving the shift from fossil fuels. It highlights that while mandates are vital, their effectiveness depends on careful design and enforcement.

 
For example, feed-in tariffs can incentivize renewable energy projects, while carbon taxes can discourage fossil fuel use. The book analyzes different types of legal mandates, using case studies from various countries to evaluate successes and failures. It connects to economics, examining the economic impacts on energy prices and job creation, and to political science, analyzing the political feasibility of implementing renewable energy policies.

 
Beginning with the evolution of energy policy and the growing recognition of climate change, the book progresses through legal concepts, incentives, penalties, and infrastructure investment. A unique aspect of this book is its comparative approach, identifying best practices across different jurisdictions. It aims to provide a balanced assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of different types of mandates, offering valuable insights for policymakers, legal professionals, and anyone interested in a sustainable energy future.

    Excerpt:
     
    To be a “Buddhist” without making any attempt to put the principles into practice is nonsensical. Buddhism is essentially something to do rather than something to believe. The attainment of the higher wisdom will, for most people at least, be a long task which may not be fully achieved in this lifetime. But those who are sincerely treading the path will stand out. They will have something about them which subtly marks them out. They will be mindful, compassionate, considerate to others. While they will not rush round offering good advice to all and sundry unasked, they may well be the kind of people whom those in need of advice and help will instinctively turn to. They will be good citizens of the world, for the very reason that they are not too much caught up in its meretricious attractions.

  • Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace: The History of the Partnership Behind the World’s First Computer - cover

    Charles Babbage and Ada...

    While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer.   
    At first blush, Babbage hardly seemed the type, because in many ways, Babbage was the antithesis of the debonair, silver-tongued, and effortlessly charismatic CEOs of present-day tech giants. Babbage was a quirky individual to say the least. He was highly observant, but was in the same breath a habitual daydreamer, often caught in a trance of deep thought.  Indeed, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and his brilliant mind were unparalleled, but this was paired with his restless, addictive, and extreme nature, as well as his obsession with precision and factual accuracy.  
    	Working with Babbage was certainly an unusual path for any woman, but Ada Lovelace managed to do so before an incredibly premature death. Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, died in 1852 at the age of 36, but during her short and tumultuous life, she was one of the first to recognize that computers could do far more than complex calculations. This was all the more surprising given that, during her life, no computers existed, and her ideas were based on an implicit understanding of the theoretical work of Charles Babbage, who himself is today recognized as the “Father of the Computer.” What makes her work truly startling is that she did this more than 100 years before the first computer had even been created. But Ada Lovelace was a woman, and in Victorian England, her work was generally either ignored or disparaged.
