在回应杰米法国的说明,“一个拟议的太阳能接入法为得克萨斯州,”教授Bronin敦促未来的评论员把重点放在三个额外的调查领域有关拟议的太阳能权利制度。Bronin认为,通过讨论提案可能面临的法律的挑战、相关的政治问题和可再生能源微电网,这些提案将得到加强。France女士为德克萨斯州提出的提案包括取消对太阳能接入产生负面影响的先前存在的私有财产限制。布罗宁认为,通过讨论联邦和州征用条款下的潜在挑战,这一提议将得到加强。此外,弗朗斯女士建议分区条例保护房主的太阳能接入,这将受益于对德克萨斯州自治城市可能提出的挑战的讨论。此外,据布罗宁说,为了提供一个全面的视角,讨论休斯顿可能的替代规则可能会增加法国女士的提议。布罗宁还强调,太阳能权利制度的建议,如法国女士的建议,往往会影响到各种利益集团,评论员应该解决由此产生的政治问题。具体来说,在讨论弗朗斯女士对德克萨斯州的提案时,布罗宁指出,与大型项目相比,小型可再生能源设施缺乏政治支持,德克萨斯州目前的预算短缺,以及受提案影响的强大利益集团。最后,Bronin鼓励其他评论员考虑倡导可再生能源微电网。Bronin将其描述为“小规模、低电压的分布式发电,在邻居之间利用太阳能收集器、风力发电系统、微型涡轮机、地热威尔斯和燃料电池等能源,对环境的负面影响最小。Bronin认为,可再生能源微电网“应该成为任何州太阳能接入制度的关键部分。"
In response to Jamie France's note, "A Proposed Solar Access Law for the State of Texas," Professor Bronin urges future commentators to focus on three additional areas of inquiry related to proposed solar rights regimes. Bronin argues that such proposals would be strengthened by discussion of potential legal challenges to the proposals, related political issues, and renewable energy microgrids.Ms. France’s proposal for the State of Texas includes the elimination of preexisting private property restrictions that negatively affect solar access. Bronin argues that this proposal would be strengthened by a discussion of potential challenges under federal and state takings clauses. Additionally, Ms. France's suggestion that zoning ordinances protect homeowners' solar access would benefit from a discussion of challenges that might be raised by home rule cities in Texas. Furthermore, to provide a full perspective, a discussion of possible alternative rules for Houston, which lacks a zoning ordinance, might add to Ms. France's proposal, according to Bronin. Bronin also emphasizes that proposals for solar rights regimes, such as that of Ms. France, often affect various interest groups, and commentators should address the political issues that this creates. Specifically, in discussing Ms. France's proposal for the State of Texas, Bronin identifies the lack of political support for small-scale renewable energy installations as opposed to large-scale projects, Texas's current budget shortfall, and powerful interests groups that are affected by the proposal. Finally, Bronin encourages other commentators to consider advocating for renewable energy microgrids. Bronin has described these as "small-scale, low-voltage distributed generation between neighbors for energy derived from sources such as solar collectors, wind power systems, microturbines, geothermal wells, and fuel cells, which have minimal negative impact on the environment." Bronin believes that renewable energy microgrids "should be a key part of solar access regimes in any state."
