In light of the Biden administration\u0026rsquo;s recent pledge to cut US emissions by 50\u0026ndash;52% of 2005 levels, this report lays out the costs and benefits of policies that can reduce emissions while promoting fairness for communities affected by the transition to clean energy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nRFF collaborated with a team of 15 scholars from universities across the United States to analyze policy options that touch on several categories: energy infrastructure and resilience, environmental remediation, economic development, workforce, and manufacturing and innovation. Each researcher identified specific proposals and drew from available evidence to assess policy design and estimate outcomes, including effects on the environment, economy, and employment. Many of the proposals analyzed in this report are currently under consideration in Congress, and the report\u0026rsquo;s authors have identified relevant pieces of legislation and sections of the U.S. Code.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFind the report \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.rff.org\/publications\/reports\/policy-options-to-enable-an-equitable-energy-transition\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ehere\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Emily Grubert, Assistant Professor in CEE, has contributed to a new report from Resources for the Future (RFF) entitled, \u0022On the Path to an Equitable Energy Transition.\u0022"}],"uid":"27338","created_gmt":"2021-04-29 15:09:08","changed_gmt":"2021-04-29 16:04:29","author":"Brent Verrill","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2021-04-29T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2021-04-29T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"647060":{"id":"647060","type":"image","title":"Emily Grubert w_background","body":null,"created":"1619712239","gmt_created":"2021-04-29 16:03:59","changed":"1619712239","gmt_changed":"2021-04-29 16:03:59","alt":"Portrait of Emily Grubert with Earth, environment, and infrastructure graphics in the background.","file":{"fid":"245655","name":"grubert-edit-final.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/grubert-edit-final.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/grubert-edit-final.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":118576,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/grubert-edit-final.jpg?itok=UxN-al6m"}}},"media_ids":["647060"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.rff.org\/publications\/reports\/policy-options-to-enable-an-equitable-energy-transition\/","title":"\u0022Policy Options to Enable an Equitable Energy Transition\u0022"},{"url":"https:\/\/ce.gatech.edu\/people\/Faculty\/7658\/overview","title":"Emily Grubert Departmental Profile"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.rff.org\/about\/","title":"About Resources for the Future"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.rff.org\/news\/press-releases\/on-the-path-to-an-equitable-energy-transition-a-new-collaborative-report-provides-insight-on-how-to-get-there\/","title":"RFF Press Release"}],"groups":[{"id":"367481","name":"SEI Energy"},{"id":"1280","name":"Strategic Energy Institute"}],"categories":[{"id":"131","name":"Economic Development and Policy"},{"id":"132","name":"Institute Leadership"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"}],"keywords":[{"id":"186374","name":"Emily Grubert"},{"id":"6446","name":"energy policy"},{"id":"186858","name":"go-sei"},{"id":"831","name":"climate change"},{"id":"168268","name":"Resources for the Future"},{"id":"178500","name":"white paper"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[{"id":"71911","name":"Earth and Environment"},{"id":"71901","name":"Society and Culture"}],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:brent.verrill@research.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EBrent Verrill\u003C\/a\u003E, Research Communications Program Manager\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["brent.verrill@research.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
