Book excerpt: "The Western Energy Crisis was one of the great financial disasters of the past century, leading to the collapse of Enron, the largest corporate bankruptcy in US history. The crisis began in April of 2000 when price spikes started to rattle California's electricity markets. These new markets, designed to introduce competition and, ideally, drive prices down, created new openings for private companies. Within the span of a year, however, California's three biggest utilities were on the brink of bankruptcy. Competing for energy at public auctions, providers were unable to afford the now wildly expensive energy their customers needed. In sheer desperation, energy providers instituted rolling blackouts to accommodate the scarcity. Traffic lights, refrigerators, and ATM's stopped working. It was a perfect scandal, especially when it turned out that the energy sellers had manipulated the market to drive up the prices and then profit from the resulting disaster. Who was at fault? Decades later, some blame economic fundamentals and ignorant politicians, while others accuse the energy sellers who raided the markets. In Failure by Design, sociologist Georg Rilinger argues for a different explanation: market design. The unique physical attributes of electricity made it exceedingly challenging to introduce markets into the coordination of the electricity system, so market designers were brought in to construct the infrastructures that coordinate how market participants interact. These experts spent their days worrying about incentive misalignment and market manipulation. But they had instead created a system riddled with opportunities for destructive behavior. Viewed as a failure by design, the crisis demands a different explanation. Rilinger explains how some of the world's foremost authorities could create such a flawed system by first identifying the structural features that enabled destructive behavior, then by showing how the political, organizational, and cognitive conditions of design work prompted these design mistakes. The project not only delves into the California energy crisis and will engage those interested in energy and financial markets, but it also pursues a larger theoretical agenda in sociology and economics"--

Book Synopsis The California Electricity Crisis by : Charles J. Cicchetti
Download or read book The California Electricity Crisis written by Charles J. Cicchetti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to explain what went wrong in California’s restructured energy markets and what must be done to restore California’s economy and build new electricity systems. The intention here is to reconcile the principles of competition and regulation. California had a severe electricity crisis for about thirteen months beginning in May of 2000. The economic consequences and political fallout that arose from this crisis persist. California’s economy continues to suffer and the state’s treasury is deeply in debt. The state’s three investor-owned utilities were nearly financially decimated. San Diego Gas & Electric has recovered to a greater degree than the other two only because its retail prices are about three times the national average and, for a time, well above the other two IOUs in California. Southern California Edison has recently been restored to investment grade and was granted a rate increase. Pacific Gas & Electric is emerging from bankruptcy. This book discusses all of this in greater detail. The problems and consequences arising from California’s ill-fated foray into electricity market restructuring could damage the state for years to come. Challenges of this nature are not new to the Golden State. In the past, as we explain here, pragmatic, not entrenched, approaches have worked best in California. If California is to relatively quickly restore its previous enviable economic vitality and recover from the damage done to tarnish its luster, pragmatic approaches must again be used.

Download or read book Blackout written by Richard Heinberg and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal fuels about 50 percent of US electricity production and provides a quarter of the country's total energy. China and India's ferocious economic growth is based almost entirely on coal-generated electricity. Coal currently looks like a solution to many of our fast-growing energy problems. However, while coal advocates are urging full steam ahead, increasing reliance on the dirtiest of all fossil fuels has crucial implications for the global climate, energy policy, the world economy, and geopolitics. Drawbacks to a coal-based energy strategy include: Scarcity - new studies suggest that the peak of world coal production may actually be less than two decades away. Cost - the quality of produced coal is declining, while the expense of transport is rising, leading to spiraling costs and increasing shortages. Climate impacts - our ability to deal with the historic challenge of climate change will hinge on reducing our coal consumption in future years. Blackout goes to the heart of the tough energy questions that will dominate every sphere of public policy throughout the first half of this century, and is a must-read for planners, educators, and anyone concerned about energy consumption, peak oil and climate change.

Download or read book Lights Out! written by Spencer Abraham and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely book, former Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham debunks the myths that warp our current debate over energy, and offers new solutions to the real problems we face in America. Drawing on the very latest thinking from experts in industry and academia, and his own experiences running America's Energy Department, he proposes a fresh approach to meeting our daunting energy threats. This book effectively answers how America and the world can overcome the challenges of rising global energy demand, geopolitical disruptions of the energy marketplace, and the environmental impact of producing and using energy. What emerges is a pragmatic energy strategy that calls for blending a variety of energy sources including nuclear, clean coal, solar, wind, and natural gas with a more determined effort at improving energy efficiency through the deployment of smart energy grids and buildings, to help meet our challenges while preserving our economy and environment. Coming in the midst of a national debate about global warming, energy dependence and rising energy prices and rich with anecdotes from the author's service in the Senate and cabinet, this book is a clarion call that will help shape our energy future.
