"On one hand, the single biggest negative impact On EV adoption would be taking away all three EV tax credits, new, used, and commercial which hits leases. That would take down EV adoption at 2030 from a baseline current policy forecast of 48% to 42%"

Michelle came to the DNC like:

[BMB Empower Network @Bmbempower]

Then DA #KamalaHarris discussed the importance of being smart on #crime rather than tough on crime when addressing the #criminaljustice system at the 2006 State of #BlackAmerica. It's surprising that this clip hasn't gone #viral.

@DaphneMPenn Ayyeee!!! Congrats!

[Noah Kaufman @noahqk]

I used to write about how to structure the eventual phase-out of clean energy subsidies. But one thing about a subsidy-led decarbonization strategy...you're always gonna need the subsidies

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Don Lemon was right. As an Indian American, I was profoundly embarrassed by Vivek lecturing a Black man about Black history. The truth is that the Black civil rights movement paved the way for the 1965 immigration act so that Vivek’s family or mine could come to America. We owe a huge debt.

@DaphneMPenn Hilarious!

@BLinMurph Wtf Brett?! Lol

I was quoted in E&E News on the use of sustainable aviation fuel to decarbonize aviation.

Reading "Clean jet fuel ready for takeoff" https://t.co/QMQfNbiCbt via @EENewsUpdates

[Rhodium Group @rhodium_group]

"The current unsubsidized cost of sustainable aviation fuels is 3-5x more expensive than fossil jet fuel. Closing that gap will be critical to help SAF to take off" said Rhodium's Eric O'Rear

@afreedma @axios on our new report on decarbonizing aviation

[Dr. Eric G. O’Rear @Dr_ORear]

I had an opportunity to speak with Axios about our work. Check it out!

Sustainable aviation fuels are ready for takeoff, report finds https://t.co/y9DlN9ZVwI

Invest in yourself no matter what!

[Noah Kaufman @noahqk]

Anyone want to correct my rough math here?

The incentive from a $25/MWh production tax credit for carbon-free electricity generation is equivalent to a $61/tonne carbon price on electricity from natural gas.

($25/MWh divided by 0.41 tonnes/MWh).

Even after the bonanza of coverage earlier this year, we’re still only beginning to understand how the Inflation Reduction Act works and what it might mean for the economy, writes @robinsonmeyer. https://t.co/j76rJL45Ip

If you've been following the IRA, you've likely seen the analysis projecting it will cut GHGs 40% by 2030.

But modeling is as much art as it is science. I wrote about what models are good at, what they struggle with & what they tell us about the IRA

[Ben Storrow @bstorrow]

NEW from @rhodium_group: IRA would reduce emissions 31-44% by 2030.

Rhodium had forecast 25-34% without congressional action

[Manuel Grebenjak @ManuelGrebe]

We should start naming heatwaves after fossil fuel companies.

[Rhodium Group @rhodium_group]

"Recent analysis by Rhodium Group found that the United States is already on track to reduce emissions by somewhere between 24-35% below their 2005 level by 2030. But that's nowhere near enough to meet the [2030] pledge." https://t.co/oxcPM9u9Am

[Dr. Eric G. O’Rear @Dr_ORear]

Let’s be clear. @Sen_JoeManchin is anti-climate change and pro-coal. He is literally standing in the way of any climate mitigation opportunities!

[Rhodium Group @rhodium_group]

New: In our annually updated outlook for US emissions under current federal and state policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 24-35% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent any additional new policy—falling short of the 50-52% 2030 target. https://t.co/vVzGiwgUor
