The Power Brokers by Jeremiah D. Lambert Pdf

How the interplay between government regulation and the private sector has shaped the electric industry, from its nineteenth-century origins to twenty-first-century market restructuring. For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States. Provision of an essential service to largely dependent consumers invited government oversight and ever more sophisticated market intervention. The industry has sought to manage, co-opt, and profit from government regulation. In The Power Brokers, Jeremiah Lambert maps this complex interaction from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Lambert's narrative focuses on seven important industry players: Samuel Insull, the principal industry architect and prime mover; David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), who waged a desperate battle for market share; Don Hodel, who presided over the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) in its failed attempt to launch a multi-plant nuclear power program; Paul Joskow, the MIT economics professor who foresaw a restructured and competitive electric power industry; Enron's Ken Lay, master of political influence and market-rigging; Amory Lovins, a pioneer proponent of sustainable power; and Jim Rogers, head of Duke Energy, a giant coal-fired utility threatened by decarbonization. Lambert tells how Insull built an empire in a regulatory vacuum, and how the government entered the electricity marketplace by making cheap hydropower available through the TVA. He describes the failed overreach of the BPA, the rise of competitive electricity markets, Enron's market manipulation, Lovins's radical vision of a decentralized industry powered by renewables, and Rogers's remarkable effort to influence cap-and-trade legislation. Lambert shows how the power industry has sought to use regulatory change to preserve or secure market dominance and how rogue players have gamed imperfectly restructured electricity markets. Integrating regulation and competition in this industry has proven a difficult experiment.

Lines Down by Steven Allen Mitnick Pdf

Two years of unprecedented big data analysis, by a team of researchers, looking at hundreds of millions of monthly electric bills and hundreds of thousands of power outage reports, have dramatically changed our understanding about how Americans really use electricity, what they actually pay for it, and how they value it. With these fresh perspectives, energy policy, strategy and regulation will never again be the same. Yet, "Lines Down" explores this new world of electricitynomics in a colorfully-illustrated, humorous and conversational format. From the ten hilarious New Yorker cartoons, to the six Reddy Kilowatt characters and Reddy's song, to the twenty-two vivid color graphs, to the evocative photos, to the stories of made-up weirdly-named utilities, this book cooks up a palatable plate for any reader, for veteran energy experts and novices alike. Even energy experts have been surprised by the book's analytic breakthroughs. For example: * Most US households pay less than the average electric bill, and many households pay much less than the average * Low-income households in particular tend to pay much less than the average for their electricity * Electricity sales growth is driven by household formation and business formation, and not by the electricity usage of existing homes and existing businesses * Multi-day power outages from storms, although rare, disproportionately cost utility customers * Investing in hardening against these storm outages has a disproportionate net value for the public with a minimum electric bill impact And much more. "Lines Down" yields new insights in every one of its 10 chapters. Part I of the book asks, provocatively, whether what you pay for electricity is a bad or good deal? In simple terms, are you getting value-for-money when paying your electric bills? Part II shows what Americans actually pay for electricity. The chapters here are full of surprises, defying conventional wisdom, that come from all the big data analysis. Part III shows how Americans actually use electricity. These chapters demonstrate how, to truly understand our relationship with electricity, one must fully appreciate how the statistical distributions of our usage are skewed (and not normally-distributed as has been assumed). Part IV shows how Americans actually value electricity. And how electric utilities and utility regulators have it within their abilities to significantly increase the electric grid's value. "Lines Down" throughout reflects on a glorious past, the Age of Electricity. But the book as well outlines an exciting future in which the Age of Electricity has its best days ahead.

David E. Lilienthal: The Journey of an American Liberal by Steven Neuse Pdf

Over the course of a career that stretched from the early 1920s through the late 1970s, David Eli Lilienthal (1899-1981) became a larger-than-life symbol of American liberalism. Born in Morton, Illinois to Jewish immigrants from what later became Czechoslovakia, Lilienthal attended DePauw University and Harvard Law School. After practicing labor and public utility law in Chicago, Governor Philip La Follette appointed him to the Wisconsin Public Service Commission in 1931. In 1933, President Roosevelt appointed Lilienthal as one of three founding directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority. In 1946, President Truman appointed him as the first chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Lilienthal left public service in 1950 but continued applying the TVA concept of coordinated development, including dams, irrigation, flood control and electric generation via his consulting firm, Development and Research Corporation, which operated internationally, including in Iran under the Shah. “This biography is a study of a fascinating man who, in his long career, embodied the achievements and tragedy of mid-century American liberalism. The author has mastered his sources and produced a wonderful portrait of a man and his times.” —Erwin C. Hargrove, Vanderbilt University “Steven Neuse’s biography of David Lilienthal fills an important gap in the history of twentieth-century American liberalism. It is a perceptive analysis of a complex character.” — William Bruce Wheeler, University of Tennessee “[A] well-written, exhaustively researched, and balanced perspective of [Lilienthal]... Steven Neuse has written one of the best studies to date on a prominent twentieth-century American and one that will be cited for many years to come.” — Michael V. Namorato, University of Mississippi, Journal of American History “In this exemplary biography, [Neuse] illuminates Lilienthal’s road to influence... This book merits the attention of all serious students of 20th-century American democracy.” — M. J. Birkner, Gettysburg College, Choice “Neuse offers a superbly crafted discussion of Lilienthal’s time as TVA commissioner... [and] traces the evolving controversies and achievements of TVA with exemplary clarity... [A] wise and wide ranging book. Based on an enviable command of private papers, personal interviews, and government documents, it is incomparably the finest existing study of this complicated and remarkable American and of absorbing interest to anyone interested in the New Deal, atomic politics, or the travails of American liberalism at home and abroad in the late twentieth century.” — Georgia Historical Quarterly “[A] splendidly perceptive analysis of this consummate bureaucratic politician and liberal who managed constructive programs in a destructive world.” — Journal of East Tennessee History “[A] quite readable biography based on enormous research... [this] book is important and deserves a wide readership.” — Howard P. Segal, University of Maine, Nature “Neuse has performed a very important service in providing scholars with a ‘life and times’ chronicle of Lilienthal... Neuse’s account is impressively researched, his prose admirably lucid... Neuse’s study stands as proof that narrative biography is still a vibrant scholarly enterprise.” — Gregory Field, University of Michigan, Technology and Culture “This is a well-written, extensively documented, informative narrative on a fascinating man...” — John Minton, Western Kentucky University, Tennessee Historical Quarterly “Steven Neuse’s exhaustive study of David Lilienthal is the much-needed and definitive biography of a highly significant figure, the very personification of American liberalism and grassroots democracy. All twentieth-century scholars must master it, and the general reader will be fascinated by this sensitive tale of a tortured crusader who dreamed so expansively and felt so deeply.” — Roy Talbert, Jr., Coastal Carolina University
