New in Nature Communications: "State-led climate action can cut emissions at near-federal costs but favors different technologies"
We used an open-source energy system optimization model to explore what happens if 23 U.S. states pursue net-zero without federal coordination.

State-led climate action can cut emissions at near-federal costs but favors different technologies - Nature Communications
In the absence of federal decarbonization, states can drive significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions at comparable costs to federal action, with particular reliance on electrification of end us...

A press release for my first (and so far only) paper from graduate school discussing the technology and cost-consequences of a state-led U.S. decarbonization. Spoiler: it’s optimistic! Different than federally-led, but holding promise. Check it out

I found this study heartening. States can take a leadership role on climate issues, and that can make a real difference. #climate 🧪 (This link is to an overview; I'll link to the paper itself in the following post.)

Even Without Feds, States Can Take Meaningful Action on Climate Change
In the absence of an ambitious federal climate strategy, a new study shows state-led action can make a significant difference in reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change.
