@DavidPLittell @MattyGHG I've read that study. I've also read this one. They are both peer reviewed studies. https://t.co/RIHgHMJjSM

In particular it seems this study assuming that 100% of pollution reductions are attributable RGGI (first picture) when my understanding is that it's really more like 20% https://t.co/RIHgHN0Vhm https://t.co/iMLmGsG1Tu
Carbon prices in the RGGI program led to 6.22 M tonnes of CO2 reduction per year, or about 19.10% of the average total potential annual emissions from 2009 to 2013, mainly achieved through efficiency and emission leakage instead of fuel switching. https://
