Washington Post: "States Will Play Key Role in Implementing Climate Law"
A newsletter analysis of a new Energy Innovation paper mentions related research conducted by RFF on the Inflation Reduction Act's effects on the economy and the environment.
The paper from Energy Innovation, a San Francisco-based climate think tank, focused on the clean energy incentives in the sweeping climate measure known as the Inflation Reduction Act.
- The authors noted that at least four institutions — the research firm Rhodium Group, the think tank Resources for the Future, Princeton University and Energy Innovation — have modeled the law's impacts.
- The four modeling teams generally agree that the United States could reach 73 to 76 percent clean electricity by 2030 and could reduce electricity-sector emissions 67 to 78 percent by 2030 relative to 2005 levels.
