View on Environmental Defense Fund website"According to a recent paper by Resources for the Future, a policy approach based only on measures such as coal heat rate improvements would result in minimal improvements in carbon pollution and increases in sulfur dioxide pollution at the national level compared to no policy at all. The paper also shows that carbon pollution would increase in some states compared to a no-policy reference scenario since any emission reductions from heat rate improvements are more than offset by increased coal generation, which drives up emissions."
