Welcome back for episode two of our new season, where I speak to one of my favorite fellow carbon pricers.
Shuting Pomerleau is the Director of Energy and Environmental Policy at the American Action Forum. Shuting’s work focuses on energy and environmental policy analysis. Research topics include carbon border adjustments, carbon taxation, climate and trade, the latest developments in energy markets, and electricity markets. Her work has been featured in a wide range of outlets including Bloomberg, Financial Times, and TIME. She has also spoken at many public conferences and events.
Today we are discussing the ramifications of Virginia rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, RGGI, and how that re-entry plus the ambitious emissions reduction schedule the state already has on the books and its rapid data center expansion will likely impact energy prices.
Shuting wrote about this topic (you can find her research here) and we hope you enjoy this conversaion.
