Data from 600k cars shows that real world fuel consumption for gas powered vehicles is 20% higher than official values. For PHEV's "real-world CO2 emissions were on average 3.5 times higher" (!!) europa.eu/!Ct6fdq

We are not on track. Fossil fuels are not (planned to be) phased out/down soon. Great analysis by @UNEP and others in their Production Gap Report.

How far does the #InflationReductionAct go toward achieving the US's Paris Agreement goals? 🌎🏛️ New RFF research finds that the #IRA—when paired with a cap on emissions—could lead to an 80% reduction in energy-sector #emissions by 2030. Learn more! 👇 rff.org/publications/working…

A most important vision for where US policy goes from here
Evergreen Action@EvergreenAction23 Jan 2023
To keep @POTUS’ 100% clean power by 2035 commitment within reach, we must cut power sector carbon pollution 80% by 2030. New post-IRA modeling from us and @NRDC shows that strong @EPA rules on carbon pollution from new+existing power plants will get us most of the way there. 🧵

My take on the remarkable opportunity the IRA creates for state and local engagement and policy in #KleinmanCenter podcast. kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/pod…

What Impact Will the IRA Have on Consumer Energy Costs?

Can electric vehicles be a flexibility source and contribute to power system stability? In mdpi.com/1810538 the authors look at the potentials & tradeoffs (battery degradation) of unidirectional vs bidirectional smart charging of EVs for frequency containment reserve power

Besides the integration of renewable energies, electric vehicles pose an additional challenge to modern power grids. However, electric vehicles can also be a flexibility source and contribute to the...

A study led by RFF offers one of the first looks at the significant and widespread #health benefits that can be expected if the United States cuts #emissions in half by the end of the decade. Read the blog post by Maya Domeshek and @DallasBurtraw ⤵️ buff.ly/3rmTKGE

Especially interesting that the IRA narrows the range of changes in electricity prices resulting from future natural gas price swings, insulating business and households from uncertainty. Even under the highest natural gas price scenario, electricity prices fall below baseline.

"Under an array of future #NatGas prices trends, reductions in #electricity rates should happen soon and be long lasting," says @Nick_HRoy.

Those cost reductions accrue through direct reductions in electricity bills for households and indirect reductions in costs throughout the economy.

NEW ⚡️ RFF researchers model the impact of the #InflationReductionAct on consumer electricity prices, finding that it reduces the average American household's electricity costs by $170–$220 annually. rff.org/publications/issue-b… @Nick_HRoy @DallasBurtraw @kevinrennert

The decline in electricity prices that result will help drive electrification of transportation and buildings, yielding additional environmental and consumer benefits over the decade.

A major shout-out to @californiapuc's Energy Division for the publication of a thought-provoking proposal for a new retail market / rate design structure. Done right, it could create the world's first, genuinely two-sided electricity market where demand actively participates.

New: Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court grants Republican lawmakers' request to halt implementation of a regulation allowing the state to enter the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. State is prevented from "implementing and enforcing the Rulemaking until further order of Court."
