Yet we can assess job impacts by using what is known as a computable general-equilibrium energy-economy model\u0026mdash;in particular, the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), which was created by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). For more than a decade, the Georgia Institute of Technology has used its version of that model, known at GT-NEMS, to forecast the impacts of energy and climate policies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe GND that we modeled starts in 2020 with a tax of $60 levied on each metric ton of CO\u003Csub\u003E2\u003C\/sub\u003E\u0026nbsp;emitted by the U.S. energy system. The tax is set to increase annually at the rate of inflation, plus 5 percent. We also examined a carbon tax starting at $25 and growing at the same rate, allowing a more moderate price to be compared with a higher tax. By 2030, the $25 tax would be $41 per metric ton of CO\u003Csub\u003E2\u003C\/sub\u003E\u0026nbsp;emitted, and the $60 tax would be\u0026nbsp;$98. By 2050, the two taxes would rise to $108 and\u0026nbsp;$259, respectively.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/would-a-green-new-deal-add-or-kill-jobs1\/\u0022\u003ERead the full article here.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"35266","created_gmt":"2020-01-07 18:47:07","changed_gmt":"2020-01-07 18:54:37","author":"ifrazer3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"work family interactions","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/would-a-green-new-deal-add-or-kill-jobs1\/","dateline":{"date":"2019-12-17T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-12-17T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"617552":{"id":"617552","type":"image","title":"Marilyn Brown","body":null,"created":"1549654607","gmt_created":"2019-02-08 19:36:47","changed":"1549654607","gmt_changed":"2019-02-08 19:36:47","alt":"","file":{"fid":"235058","name":"Brown Portrait High Res 2018.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Brown%20Portrait%20High%20Res%202018.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Brown%20Portrait%20High%20Res%202018.png","mime":"image\/png","size":1084696,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Brown%20Portrait%20High%20Res%202018.png?itok=xDn4Rjz4"}}},"media_ids":["617552"],"groups":[{"id":"1289","name":"School of Public Policy"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"330","name":"Marilyn Brown"},{"id":"831","name":"climate change"},{"id":"6446","name":"energy policy"},{"id":"174523","name":"Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
