- Responses to Policy Integrity fuel efficiency public comments – Today, federal agencies issued new regulations on fuel efficiency standards—for the first time, limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emission allowed from cars and trucks.
- Comments on proposed vehicle emission and fuel-economy standards – Policy Integrity submitted two sets of comments regarding the federal government’s proposed regulations to control the emissions and fuel economy standards of America’s fleet of light-duty vehicles (cars, SUV’s and pick-ups but not larger trucks).
- Comments to DOE on Energy Conservation Standards for Distribution Transformers – The Department of Energy (DOE) recently asked for input on energy conservation standards for certain electrical grid equipment. We submitted comments encouraging DOE to continue monetizing the full climate benefits of greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
- 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.
- Comments on Caballo West Federal Coal Lease – …year. Despite quantifying over 23 million tons of yearly carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, OSM does not include a monetized estimate of the climate damages those emissions will produce. We submitted joint comments asking that OSM use the social cost of greenhouse gases to better weigh the real-world impacts of potential…
- Comments on Proposed Repeal of the Clean Power Plan – As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues its rulemaking to repeal the Clean Power Plan, we submitted two sets of comments that challenge EPA’s legal and economic arguments for undoing this important climate policy.
- Comments to DOE on Energy Conservation Standards for Clothes Dryers – The Department of Energy's preliminary technical support document indicates that DOE will use the domestic-only, interim social cost of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide values developed under the now-repealed Executive Order 13,783. We submitted comments explaining that DOE should follow the reconvened Interagency Working Group’s February 2021 recommendations.
- Brief on the Bureau of Land Management’s Waste Prevention Rule – …the use of the Social Cost of Methane was reasonable and appropriate. The Social Cost of Methane is the best available metric for measuring damages from methane emissions. And it allowed BLM to set restrictions based on the global estimate of damages from methane emissions, which best advances U.S. interests…
- Comments to FERC on the East Lateral XPress Project – …of downstream emissions in carbon-dioxide equivalence per year from the combustion of natural gas. We submitted comments (April 2021) and a follow-up letter (August 2021) encouraging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to provide a more complete analysis of project emissions, weigh its climate impacts using the social cost of carbon,…
- California Air Resources Board – Comments on the 2017 Scoping Plan Update – We recently submitted a second set of comments to the California Air Resources Board on its 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update. These comments build on those we submitted in December to ARB on the discussion draft of the scoping plan.
