Top State Policies To Cut Carbon Emissions

Permalink to Top State Policies To Cut Carbon Emissions

This research uses the new state Energy Policy Simulators (EPS) to model climate policies across six states with vastly different emissions profiles, including Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and finds just five policies can dramatically cut state greenhouse gas emissions, create anywhere from 13,000 to 118,000 jobs, and prevent between 90 and 3,800 asthma attacks annually in 2030.

Energy Innovation Policy &Technology LLC® and RMI developed 48 state Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) models to help policymakers design impactful climate policies. To show how the EPS can inform decision-making, Energy Innovation® and RMI modeled a five-policy scenario across six states, finding five top policies that can dramatically cut state greenhouse gas emissions, grow state economies, and prevent thousands of asthma attacks.
