Society needs to consume less of everything from automobiles to air conditioning if it wants to confront climate change, according to Daniel Farber…. In Farber’s view, the mechanics of “reducing consumption” encompasses a tectonic shift away from consumption-driven capitalism toward a “post-consumerism” model of economic growth that promotes a more robust concept of social welfare.

The high court’s decision in Dred Scott vs. Sandford in 1857 held that the descendants of slaves weren’t entitled to U.S. citizenship or the protections of the Constitution…. “It was a deeply racist opinion that goes far out of its way to warmly embrace the institution of slavery,” said Daniel Farber, a UC Berkeley law professor who said the decision arguably led to the Civil War and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Farber says the nuclear engineers are on the defensive because they know what is happening in Japan could jolt efforts to revive U.S. nuclear power industry. “Proceedings are going to take longer and they’re going to require more safeguards, and all of that adds up to more cost,” Farber says.

Daniel Farber, a constitutional law professor at Berkeley Law, said the 14th Amendment does not need to be interpreted by the Supreme Court because its meaning is already clear: Anyone born in the United States is a citizen…. “I usually am not this emphatic about what I think the answer is because Constitutional law has a lot of gray areas, but I do feel this one is pretty cut and dry. The 14th Amendment is clear about who is a citizen.”

“Since most significant climate policy efforts in California are linked to AB 32, its suspension could lead to legal and regulatory confusion,” said UC Law Professor Daniel Farber, another author of the Berkeley report. If the November measure passes, existing greenhouse gas regulations could also be put on hold, or in the least subject to legal challenges, he said.

“I think the answer is nobody really knows for sure. But what we do know is that there would be some immediate loss of jobs…. I think there is also this ripple effect: California has been a leader in the climate area. If California starts to do an about face, that is going to affect other states in the US and that is going to affect efforts in other parts of the world.”

“Since most significant climate policy efforts in California are linked to [the climate law], its suspension could lead to legal and regulatory confusion,” said UC Berkeley law professor and co-author of the analysis Daniel Farber, who believes the referendum would freeze climate regulations indefinitely because it is tied to unemployment dropping to 5.5 percent for a full year.

The Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at the University of California, Berkeley Law School also said the rollback initiative, Proposition 23, would benefit oil and power companies while increasing regulatory burdens to real estate developers and auto makers. “It adds significant uncertainty at a time when we have a lot of economic uncertainty,” the report’s co-author Dan Farber said.

The University of California’s Environmental Law and Policy Blog describes Kagan as being much more liberal on the commerce clause, while favoring agencies like the EPA to implement policy. “We just need judges who understand that the paramount role in environmental law is played by Congress (with an assist from administrative agencies), not by the courts,” Dan Farber of UC Berkeley and UCLA Law wrote after Kagan was nominated.

Dan Farber, director of UC Berkeley School of Law’s Environmental Law Program, draws a comparison between the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and carbon capture and storage projects. “Systems don’t always work the way they’re supposed to, in part because people make mistakes,” Farber said. “If we start doing this on a major scale we shouldn’t just accept assertions that this is perfectly safe and there’s nothing to worry about. We’ve been doing offshore drilling for a long time, too, and we thought we knew how to do that.”
