Article
In an article published in Science, Rhodium Group and 11 other organizations provide a multi-model comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions impacts of the EPA’s May 2024 standards for regulating greenhouse gases from power plants.
Note
Rolling back executive action on climate could raise average household energy costs, increase dependence on oil and gas imports, drive up GHG emissions, and put substantial levels of private investment at risk.
Report
In our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current federal and state policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 38-56% below 2005 levels by 2035, absent any additional new action.
Note
EPA recently finalized new standards for regulating greenhouse gases from power plants. We analyze what the new rules mean for electric power GHG and conventional pollutant emissions into the next decade.
