摘要

With climate change looming closer to the tipping point each day, and the United States government unable to pass any form of a comprehensive climate action policy, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must step up to fill this void. At this time, many environmentally beneficial technologies exist that can mitigate climate change. For instance, many fossil-fuel companies hold patents to some of the most promising carbon neutral or carbon negative technologies. Unfortunately, the Patent Act does not require that these technologies be put into practice. This Comment proposes a two-step framework that leverages a never-utilized provision of the Clean Air Act, the Mandatory Licensing provision, and the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the New Source Performance Standards, to fill the void left by the absence of a comprehensive federal climate action policy. The two-step framework this Comment proposes relies on the EPA's existing authority and agency deference in regulating greenhouse gases from fossil-fuel electric generation plants. First, the EPA utilizes a statutorily authorized pathway to regulate carbon dioxide emissions based on the availability of carbon-capture technologies. And second, the EPA invokes the Mandatory Licensing provision to provide accessibility to the carbon-capture technologies in the marketplace. This Comment explores anticipated industry-based challenges to the proposed technology-based emission reduction standards and analyzes the potential impacts that invoking (or threatening to invoke) the Mandatory Licensing provision may have on the technology market and regulated industries. In addition, the Comment considers the potential to deter monopolistic behavior and how the market may proactively take control to avoid government intrusion and facilitate technology transfer at reasonable licensing fees. The Comment concludes with a brief review of a similarly stringent air pollution regulation that affected the fossil-fuel electricity generating industry and how this proposed framework may play out in light of that previous regulation. With no comprehensive climate change policy, the EPA should establish a steep carbon dioxide emissions regulation of fossil-fuel electric generating facilities. To anticipate and counter industry claims of inaccessible technologies and to deter anticompetitive behavior, the EPA should leverage its full authority and invoke the Mandatory Licensing provision. Such an action would ensure technology transfer and reasonable licensing of critical patented technologies.
