U.S. manufacturers say that EPA's recent rule giving supermarkets more time to start buying the more climate-friendly refrigeration systems they developed will hurt them and help their Chinese competitors. My piece: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...
The retirement of RCP8.5 — former worst-case climate scenario has been in the news recently, and I’ve seen a lot of good explainers about this very misunderstood modeling tool. But an angle I think has been missing: the former best-case scenario is also out. My story: www.eenews.net/articles/the...
Is this the fewest monetized values EPA has ever looked at in a regulatory impact analysis? Or memo? My piece: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

EPA's rule letting grocery stores buy HFC-based refrigeration systems through 2032 gives a dollar value only to upfront costs of buying an HFC product vs. a HFC-free product. No monetized values for employment, other industries, health, climate.
EPA is calling regulatory impact analyses for rules (like the recent HFC technology transition change) regulatory impact "memos." What are they doing there?
EPA's power plant carbon rule repeal has landed at OMB. Anybody know what might have changed since the proposal? What did they do about causation/endangerment/whatnot? I'm at jchemnick.01 on Signal. Thank you, and happy Friday!
This is really a cool resource, and I didn't know it existed. A group called Climate Literacy has preserved all the climate databases and analytical tools that were removed from agency websites (EPA, Ag) in one place: www.climateliteracy.earth/us-federal-r...
