A panel discussion exploring federal policy action to achieve 80 percent clean electricity by 2030 RFF Live featuring Lindsey Baxter Griffith, Kathy Fallon Lambert, Leah Stokes, Peter Wilcoxen, and Kevin Rennert — Sept. 24, 2021 A panel discussion exploring federal policy action to achieve 80 percent clean electricity by 2030 RFF Live featuring Lindsey Baxter Griffith, Kathy Fallon Lambert, Leah Stokes, Peter Wilcoxen, and Kevin Rennert — Sept. 24, 2021 Where Zoom Webinar When noon — 1 p.m. The power sector is the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and it will be the most important sector to decarbonize if the United States is to achieve the Biden administration’s goal to halve emissions by 2030 and reach 100 percent clean electricity by 2035. Congress is currently considering a budget reconciliation proposal that would enact historic levels of federal support to accelerate the clean energy transition in the electricity sector. Join Resources for the Future (RFF) on Friday, September 24, for an RFF Live event on the costs and benefits of policy to achieve the 80x30 goal and other emissions-reduction policies relevant to current national discussions. Our panel of experts - including researchers from the Clean Energy Futures project - will discuss what’s at stake in the decisions before Congress. This event is part of the global digital activations for Climate Week NYC 2021. The Clean Energy Futures project is a multi-institutional research initiative with collaborators from Syracuse University; the Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; RFF; and Georgia Institute of Technology. To attend this webinar, please RSVP and follow the instructions in the Zoom confirmation email.
