Tax Analysts, December 23, 2010
Martha Groves Pugh predicted that companies in the nuclear energy utility industry would be pleased with new IRS nuclear decommissioning fund rules. “The IRS and Treasure were very responsive to the concerns of the industry about the provisions in the earlier regs,” she said. Ms. Pugh added that she did expect an IRS clarification on schedule of ruling amounts (SRA) related to requested plant license extensions.

Andrea Kramer was featured in an August 31 Chicago Daily Law Bulletin story about a new book that she has assembled and contributed to, which is the first text to summarize the legal and financial know-how to develop “green” energy sources. “This is really a book that is addressing the cutting edge of change,” Ms. Kramer said of Energy and Environmental Project Finance Law and Taxation. “It can be of interest to someone who just has a casual interest in how green and renewable markets work. It can also be a guide for people who want to actually put together these types of projects.” Saying that the renewable energy book tells “what are the risks; what are the projects you can use to hedge them; how you would hedge them,” Ms. Kramer added: “Nobody else had done it. That’s what prompted me to think this was worth a new book.”
