Erik Paul Johnson in Resource and Energy Economics: Renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) have become a popular tool for state governments to promote renewable electricity generation and to decrease carbon dioxide emissions within a state or region. Renewable portfolio standards are a policy tool likely to persist for many decades due to the long term goals of many state RPSs and the likely creation of a federal RPS alongside any comprehensive climate change bill.

 Here's an Olympic based example of the power of incentives: Eight Olympic women's badminton players face a disciplinary hearing after being accused of "not using one's best efforts to win a match" in doubles contests that drew boos from spectators. In this case, the rules of the Olympic Badminton tournament seem to be such that there is an incentive for teams to shirk in order to advance further.

In a breakthrough for renewable generation that will lessen the dependence on fossil fuels, the cost of solar power in California is near that of gas-fired plants at times of peak demand. via www.ft.com.

Ben Yagoda at Lingua Franca on COP21: As the deadline approached, attention focused on one particular set of auxiliary verbs: shall (implying a commitment) and should  (implying a general wish and desire). The United States delegation was especially partial to  should. Legally binding language, such as shall, would have required that the treaty be submitted to the Senate, which would almost certainly scuttle it.

The plan does not require that a German-made vehicle be purchased in order to attain the $3,250 incentive. Volkswagon is offering more incentives to increase vehicle purchases, offering price reductions for those using the government incentive. However, not all believe the incentive is a negative situation at all. With incentives such as the one Volkswagon is offering, that number could be higher.

The administration's choice of policy will reveal the true motivation behind a gas tax:  If the motivation is to create incentives for better fuel efficiency and reduced externalities, then we will see an increase in the per gallon gas tax.    If the goal is to simply raise revenue regardless of the incentive to reduce externalities, we may see the driving tax

In a newly published paper , we argue that a growing body of research and recent technological innovations suggest that “incentives rewarding private behavior” can also play a role in protecting public sources of fresh water – and implementing this new knowledge can enable funding agencies both to save money and to protect the nation’s streams and rivers. One such incentive would be to reimburse landowners more for wider buffers (Fig.

The transition to a clean energy economy is imperative not only to tackle the climate crisis, but also to spur development through new economic opportunities, new investment, and the creation of new green jobs. In seeking to capture these benefits, however, governments are increasingly turning to trade rules to challenge each others’ domestic renewable energy industries, thereby undermining the global clean energy transition we all seek.

Using the tax code to support wind and solar power significantly increases their cost. I wrote about this problem last year because project developers were selling their federal tax credits to third parties at 50 to 70 cents on the dollar. Along these lines, the Bipartisan Policy Center released a study showing that simply handing cash to clean energy developers is twice -- yes, twice -- as effective as supporting them through tax credits.
