Wide Support for FERC Carbon Pricing Statement
RTO Insider references public comments put forward by a group of RFF researchers about state-level carbon pricing.
"Researchers from D.C.-based think tank Resources for the Future said the issue of emissions leakage should not be a factor in determining if a carbon price proposal is just and reasonable. 'It is up to the state that establishes a carbon pricing policy to decide whether it is willing to accept the environmental leakage associated with its efforts to limit carbon emissions,' they said."
