The Dollar Value of Energy Innovation, with Daniel Shawhan
Notable Quotes: Advanced energy is a major topic on Capitol Hill: “Congress might increase funding for these advanced energy technologies [as] part of a stimulus, possibly as part of the infrastructure legislation that’s being negotiated between Democrats and Republicans right now … It’s a really big, important decision year for this RD&D, and our purpose is to provide reliable, rigorous analysis that policymakers all across the political spectrum can trust to help them decide what positions...
Clean energy innovation is a worthy investment
In December, the Energy Act of 2020 passed into law with bipartisan support. The law authorized research, development and demonstration (RD&D) funding for advanced technologies that have the potential to make waves in our country's energy infrastructure. The earmarked technologies, among them advanced nuclear, carbon capture and energy storage, have considerable potential to reduce electricity supply costs and pollutant emissions.
Understanding grid resilience implications for market design: Beyond the NETL study
The following is a viewpoint from researchers at the R Street Institute and Resources for the Future. The changing composition of electricity supply – and how wholesale energy and capacity markets should adapt to these changes – has been on the minds of those involved in the energy policy arena. Concerns over bulk power system resilience, in particular, are permeating these discussions.
The Impacts of Lower Natural Gas Prices on Jobs in the US Manufacturing Sector
This new study finds the dramatic US shale gas price declines increased manufacturing and energy intensive industry employment much less than previously thought. The recovery of the US manufacturing sector following the 2008–2009 economic recession has coincided with a sharp drop in natural gas prices. Popular discussion has often attributed a large portion of the manufacturing recovery to this drop in gas prices, but little rigorous analysis has been conducted on this issue.
What Should We Make of China’s Announcement of a National CO2 Trading System?
On December 19, 2017, the government of China announced that it is commencing development of a nationwide CO2 trading system, that when launched will become the world’s largest carbon trading system, annually covering about 3.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions in China’s electric power sector.
RFF Presents an Evening with Daniel Raimi, author of "The Fracking Debate"
Please join Resources for the Future (RFF) for the Washington, DC book release of Daniel Raimi’s The Fracking Debate, part of the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy series from Columbia University Press. Raimi will give a short presentation followed by a question and answer session with Amy Harder, energy and climate reporter for Axios. Raimi will also take questions from the audience. Despite the heated debate over hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” neither side has a monopoly on the facts.
What Are the Benefits of Electric Vehicles for Climate, Air Pollution, and Health?
Resources for the Future scholars Joshua Linn and Daniel Shawhan review some of the findings from their new study, which investigates the benefits and costs of plug-in electric vehicles for climate, air pollution, and health. In the United States, plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining ground on gasoline vehicles. The share of plug-in vehicle sales relative to all new vehicle sales has grown from close to zero to about five percent over the past 10 years.
In Focus: Effects of Offshore Wind Development
Major offshore wind projects in the United States have been canceled, delayed, or renegotiated recently due to increasing costs. Yet offshore wind farms may deliver benefits that exceed these costs, according to new research coauthored by Resources for the Future Fellow Daniel Shawhan. Shawhan discusses these benefits, the particular communities that stand to benefit most, and the implications of new offshore wind farms for electricity generators and consumers.
