Breaking the Logjam: Environmental Protection That Will Work

by David Schoenbrod, Richard B. Stewart, Katrina M. Wyman

After several decades of significant but incomplete successes, environmental protection in the United States is stuck. Administrations under presidents of both parties have fallen well short of the goals of their environmental statutes. Schoenbrod, Stewart, and Wyman, distinguished scholars in the field of environmental law, identify the core problems with existing environmental statutes and programs and explain how Congress can fix them. Based on a project the authors led that incorporated the work of more than fifty leading environmental experts, this book is a call to action through public understanding based on a nonpartisan argument for smarter, more flexible regulatory programs to stimulate the economy and encourage green technology.

Finally got back to this book after a while. Definitely would not have understood it if I hadn’t simultaneously been taking a class in environmental law. I liked the way it was written for a very specific purpose and audience (Congress).
