- Comments to BLM on New Mexico Oil and Gas Lease Sale – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released its environmental assessment of a February 2020 lease sale in the Carlsbad Field Office region of New Mexico. We submitted joint comments asking BLM to monetize the real-world climate impacts of projected emissions using the social cost of greenhouse gases.
- Comments to BLM on Willow Master Development Plan – …the real-world climate effects of those emissions using the social cost of greenhouse gases.
- Comments to Colorado on Participation in Centralized Electricity Markets – The Colorado Public Utilities Commission is evaluating different options for electric utility participation in centralized electricity markets, as part of the Colorado Transmission Coordination Act. We submitted comments encouraging the Commission to move the state to a centralized market, which would help accomplish energy goals and would benefit generators, utilities,…
- Comments on Wyoming Lease Sale – The Bureau of Land Management failed to estimate the climate impacts of leasing activity that would produce over 5 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent in downstream emissions on an annual basis. We submitted comments urging the agency to use the social cost of greenhouse gases in its environmental assessment.
- Comments on Royal Gorge Lease Sale – …in Colorado that would produce 317 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent over a 30-year period in upstream and downstream emissions. We submitted comments urging the agency to apply the social cost of greenhouse gases in its environmental assessment.
- The Trump Administration Just Snuck Through Its Most Devious Coal Subsidy Yet – When a cost is placed on CO2 — either explicitly, through a tax or cap-and-trade system, or implicitly, by subsidizing clean competitors — the result is a more effective market, not a “distorted” one. Externalities have been internalized. It is the companies that aren’t being charged for CO2 pollution that…
- Comments to FERC on Putnam Expansion Project – …3.26 million metric tons carbon dioxide-equivalent each year. Our comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) focus on its environmental assessment of the project, which provides unclear and inadequate analysis of the emissions and their climate impacts. We urge FERC to monetize climate damages by using social cost of…
- Comments to BLM on Proposed Farmington Drilling Projects – …million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent over the lifetimes of the assessments. BLM’s analysis, however, fails to consider the climate impacts of these emissions, which would amount to more than $25 billion. Our comments ask that BLM provide monetized estimates of these real-world climate impacts using social cost of greenhouse…
- Comments to EPA on Water and Air Pollution Limitations from Electric Power Generation – …to delay compliance with guidelines, and relies on flawed cost-benefit analysis. We also submitted joint comments that detail how EPA severely undervalues the proposed rule’s climate costs and must monetize the full social cost of carbon using the best available data and methodologies.
- Our Work on State Zero-Emission Credits Programs – Several states have determined that ensuring the viability of zero-emission electricity generation from nuclear power is critical to mitigating the impacts of climate change especially in the short term while states work to meet aggressive new clean energy goals. Through comments and amicus briefs, we’ve been involved in those efforts…
