Abstract

Negli Stati Uniti, il lungo dibattito sulla politica energetica si è concluso con l’approvazione di una legge che ha l’obiettivo dichiarato di garantire un’offerta di energia sicura, accessibile ed affidabile. La legge interviene sul processo di ristrutturazione in corso nel settore elettrico e sull’offerta delle fonti di energia. In questo articolo si rileva che le norme destinate ad influenzare direttamente il funzionamento del settore elettrico sono innovative della prassi regolatoria e del ruolo delle istituzioni federali, mentre le disposizioni e gli incentivi relativi alle fonti di energia, evidenziano piuttosto l’intenzione di mantenere la composizione attuale delle fonti di energia. La legge favorisce, infatti, l’aumento dell’offerta di combustibili fossili e di energia nucleare. Gli incentivi per le energie rinnovabili e per migliorare l’efficienza energetica sono invece più contenuti e non si prevede alcun impegno per l’adozione di un protocollo per le energie rinnovabili in linea o analogo a quello di Kyoto.
