personally I think Kendrick should have looked directly into the camera and changed the lyrics of "Not Like Us" into a political treatise explaining his exact position on both separation of powers and the immortal science of dialectical materialism. missed opportunity tbh

Kendrick really looked at the camera, smiled and said "Hey Drake" lmao

Finally boomers plugged into legacy media get to find out about the most important pop culture moment of the decade. This will do so much for me when it comes to office Super Bowl chat next week. Bummer all the things left out of this podcast about the beef. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/p...

Come intern with us at @rff.org! We are accepting applications for our annual PAID summer internship program in Washington, DC. And one position will be working with me on tax policy related to critical minerals development. Please share! www.rff.org/careers/summ...

Amending that these programs probably won’t link until 2027 at the earliest. Though how Washington and California rule-making evolves leading up to linkage is equally interesting!

State-level climate policy will likely take centerstage in 2025. Nick Roy is looking to Washington and California to lead the way—particularly through the potential linkage of their carbon markets, which charge emitters for the greenhouse gases that they release into the atmosphere. 🔽

The idea of climate policy sequencing has gained a lot of traction over the years. It’s a super valuable concept, but we may think about it too narrowly because we focus on preparing energy systems for climate policies, rather than on preparing communities. Here’s what I mean (1/x)

One interesting fact from our recent Science paper on EPA's power plant rules: Coal was 16% of generation in 2023 but comprised nearly half of power sector CO2 emissions.

Delays in state emissions markets rules this year for NY, CA, Quebec, and presumably WA. Partially seems to be a response to affordability concerns as well as the election outcome. In CA the wildfire may have been the tipping point. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

It’s official, build less power lines to stop climate damages!

Great piece from @ucenergyinstitute.bsky.social on how carbon pricing is an affordability policy as much as it is a climate policy. The cheapest way to adapt to climate change is to mitigate the causes before they even happen, carbon pricing is the cheapest policy to mitigate damages.

What are the economic effects of wildfire smoke? Matt Wibbenmeyer and I recently reviewed the impacts on health, mortality, labor markets, and measures of general well-being. Just published in Review of Environmental Economics and Policy (REEP): www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

We've been working on this question as a behavioral research question itself: how can we make academic evidence more useful, usable, and used by policymakers? It's time to give this agenda the same rigorous attention we give to producing the evidence in the first place.

EPA's power plant greenhouse gas standards may not be long for this world, but how would EPA's final rules affect the US power sector? In a new Science paper, we share answers from nine models (including our Princeton ZERO Lab work by Qian Luo). See 🧵 below & links in reply. 🔌💡 #MacroEnergySystems
