@AcadiaCtr report discusses results of RGGI, the longest running state greenhouse gas cap-and-trade system. Emissions fell faster. No surprise there. What was a little surprising was the report that retail prices fell relative to other states. https://t.co/6n4K5z8kkF

Exciting to see the emerging creativity in meeting need for clean energy minerals.

Sourcing REE from coal mine drainage seems like a win-win-win.

No new mining.
Piggyback on existing permitting.
Domestic.

Curious to see this pilot project scale. https://t.co/VKq5lpZzZ2

So this new RGGI report is out (https://t.co/p3Ju5UruDy)... but what did Acadia Center actually find?
Well, we found a great deal of benefits to the participating states! Here's a thread of our biggest findings -->

Not surprisingly, the IRA has accelerated investments in the domestic EV supply chain. More than 25 major new projects add up to a potential $32 billion in capital investment and 20,000 new jobs. 2/8

For over 15 years, Acadia Center has prioritized Rhode Island's green future through research, advocacy, and implementation of clean energy solutions. This year on #401GivesDay, we want to look at some of that work over the past year.

Doesn't good cooking need the iconic lapping flame that can be quickly raised or lowered?

“The gas industry has done quite a lot of marketing to make people think that,” says @AcadiaCtr's @SustainABR #beyondgas #inductionstove

Offshore wind has a problem: the onshore transmission system just isn't set up to handle it.

We could build a lot more electrical infrastructure on land ... or, we could build a coordinated transmission network in the ocean.

Now that the #IRA is law, state elections are an even more important frontier for climate.
“There’s a lot of decisions that state agencies need to make about what policies they’re going to prioritize and how to distribute the money,” - @SustainABR

“The gas distribution system is one of the major sources of greenhouse gasses... Every time a new gas connection is made, adding to ratepayer costs, it locks in long-term fossil fuel use.” - Acadia Center's #RI Director @HankWebster
