It is crucial to recognize the pivotal role courts play in our journey toward carbon-free energy. Their impact can either validate our progress or, at times, inadvertently impede the transition. Two examples  illustrate how the legal system has shaped our path toward embracing clean energy.

Various electric utility business models exist, each requiring profitability for operation. However, they have different attributes. Understanding these diverse models and their respective attributes is key to devising effective incentives for transitioning these entities from fossil fuel to clean energy generation.
