Please join the CELI Alumni Education Committee for a panel discussion on offshore wind in the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that offshore wind ​could provide at least 7% of our domestic energy demand by 2050. ​ Europe already has a full-fledged offshore wind industry with over 8 GW of installed capacity and much more in the pipeline, but development in the United States has been delayed by high costs​, an underdeveloped supply chain,​​ and local and political opposition. ​ Join the Clean Energy Leadership Institute, in conjunction with panelists from ​the U.S. ​Department of the Interior, EDF Renewable Energy, and the American Wind Energy Association, for a discussion of ​the potential benefits of and challenges facing offshore wind.

The panel will feature:

Joshua Kaplowitz
Attorney-Advisor, Office of the Solicitor, Department of the Interior

Doug Copeland
Regional Development Manager, EDF Renewable Energy

Hannah Hunt
Research Analyst, American Wind Energy Association
Fall 2014 Fellow, Clean Energy Leadership Institute

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
