    With modularity, interoperability, and openness as guiding principles, Next Generation Library Publishing (NGLP), is developing library publishing resources that combine the values alignment of open source software with the convenience of turnkey publishing and repository solutions. The project is simultaneously building interoperable software components tailored to the unique needs of library publishers and designing business and governance models, values-based assessment frameworks, and pilot implementations that will bring our code to life. This is a test instance undergoing active development.

    The.tort.system.is.commonly.used.in.environmental. policy. to. drive. costs. to. the. point. where. a. party. is. forced. to. forego—or. adopt—practices. desired. by. the.opposing.party . This.Article.demonstrates.that.it.is.possible.for.lawsuits. to.ignite.a.market.for.an.innovative.energy.technology.that. otherwise.would.be.too.costly.to.implement ..For.example,. early.adopters.of.a.technology.might.be.able.to.create.con- ditions. that. make. that. technology. feasible. because. they. are.motivated.to.settle.a.nuisance.lawsuit ..Lessons.learned. from. the. implementation. of. such. technology. can. yield. engineering.improvements.that.would.decrease.the.capital. or.operating.costs.of.the.technology ..In.other.words,.a.nui- sance.lawsuit.can.serve.as.the.mechanism.to.make.a.tech- nology.economically.feasible.and.commercially.available . This. Article. focuses. on. anaerobic. digestion. (AD):. a. technology.that.converts.biomass.into.methane.that.can.be. captured.and.used.as.biogas,.or.that.can.be.converted.into. electricity. through. a. generator .. The. biogas. and. electricity. can.be.used.at.the.facility.where.the.biomass.is.collected,. or. the. electricity. could. be. sold. to. the. grid. if. net. meter- ing.policies.are.available .1.In.addition.to.energy.generation. and. greenhouse. gas. reduction,. AD. also. reduces. odor— an. important. consideration. for. agricultural. operations,. including. swine. and. dairy. facilities .. This. Article. presents. the. author’s. original. research. illustrating. that. mitigating. imminent. nuisance. lawsuits. potentially. can. make.
