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" (!!) https://t.co/UPzauqIydh

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.

Congrats to RMI and Energy Innovation for an important new tool to explore state policy options.

🚨Launch of Energy Policy Simulator for 48 contiguous US states!🚨

Today we (@EnergyInnovLLC), in partnership with @RockyMtnInst, launched state versions of the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) for the 48 contiguous U.S. states.

A most important vision for where US policy goes from here

[Evergreen Action @EvergreenAction]

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. 🧵

[Dallas Burtraw @DallasBurtraw]

@EvergreenAction @POTUS @NRDC This is a vision for the next step.

What has to happen next?

My take on the remarkable opportunity the IRA creates for state and local engagement and policy in #KleinmanCenter podcast.

A good excuse to share this epic paragraph from Marty Weitzman

[Sonia Yeh @Sonia_Yeh]

Can electric vehicles be a flexibility source and contribute to power system stability? In https://t.co/NZX1gU9gfS the authors look at the potentials & tradeoffs (battery degradation) of unidirectional vs bidirectional smart charging of EVs for frequency containment reserve power

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.

The Inflation Reduction Act has been US Law for but one day and I've already:
1. Heard from one state legislative leader planning to radically accelerate the state's timeline to 100% carbon-free electricity given how much more affordable those goals now are, and...

[Dallas Burtraw @DallasBurtraw]

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.

[Resources for the Future @rff]

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

[Dallas Burtraw @DallasBurtraw]

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

[Resources for the Future @rff]

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. https://t.co/df51hbSGEt

[Dallas Burtraw @DallasBurtraw]

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