Abstract

This article reviews some of the fascinating events in energy law and policy that occurred during 2014. It does so through the eyes of the Academic Advisory Group to the International Bar Association's Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law. The Group prepared The Law of Energy Underground for Oxford University Press publication in early 2014. The book studied many developments in energy law and policy, including shale oil and gas development, geothermal resource development, and subsurface storage and disposal development. This article reviews some of those developments and then expands with others that have emerged since Energy Underground went to press. These new developments pertain to the geopolitics of energy, debates over climate change, judicial regulation of unconventional oil and gas development, and the future of nuclear energy and nuclear waste.
