Yesterday, the US Supreme Court declined to block the rollout of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s rule limiting greenhouse gas #emissions from coal– and future natural gas–fired power plants. 🏭 The rule—which more than two dozen states have challenged—will now be argued in the lower courts. But in the meantime, the agency can move forward with the rule’s implementation. RFF Senior Fellow Karen Palmer discusses how states and the federal government can comply with the rule in this episode of In Focus, which she recorded in April before the rule was finalized. ⬇️

📢 NEW MODELING 📢 Offshore wind farms will create much larger benefits than costs, according to new RFF analysis led by Dan Shawhan. Atlantic and Gulf coast offshore wind farm development will result in fewer emissions, better air quality, lower consumer energy bills, and fewer premature deaths—especially in the New York City area and among Black, Hispanic, and low-income Americans. Check out the new study, which uses RFF's detailed E4ST power-sector model, to learn more about the benefits and costs of this emerging energy source. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e2bXXxpS
