Bøger af Alan Moran

Alan Moran has been a prominent writer on regulatory matters for thirty years. He was the inaugural head of the Australian governments' regulatory review office and researched the issues in "think tanks". Working outside and within the Victorian Government, he was a major participant in the disaggregation of that state's monopoly electricity business into a dozen independent parts and in the creation of what later became the National Electricity Market. Dr Moran has written many books and articles on the interface between climate change, energy and economic well-being. These include editing and contributing to the 2015 best seller, Climate Change: the facts. Climate Change: treaties and policies in the Trump era, is an examination of: - The setting of the climate change agenda - Its position in the international arena where nations have agreed to treaties and agreements that have increasingly placed pressures on governments to take actions in conformance with their provisions - The developments leading to the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change, which incorporated governments' "Intended Nationally Determined Contributions" (INDCs) on abatement of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases - The costs nations are actually and prospectively incurring in meeting their INDCs and in other measures designed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions - President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris agreement and other nations' responses. The book foreshadows the collapse of the Paris agreement and gradual, if not abrupt, dismantling of the costly measures it entails - primarily involving forcing consumers to subsidise wind and solar energy.
