Thank you, everyone back at Duke.

The IRA expected to be signed today is expected to cut ~1B tons of carbon by 2030. But a key compromise in securing Manchin’s vote was continuing federal oil & gas leasing. How much does this matter to the overall emissions cuts?

An unexpected bonus of grad school is seeing your cohort develop a spark of an idea into a great publication.
Just accepted at @restatjournal! "NGOs and the effectiveness of interventions"
Villages' prior relationships w/ development NGO increase effectiveness of an RCT by over 30% ➡️ implications for generalizability of experimental research w/ local partners

Plugging this awesome primer by awesome people in an awesome place. Golden is higher elevation than Denver, and everyone knows you get more gains from training at elevation. That applies to mental workouts, too.

Sun 10am EST: AEA session on #energystorage. Come see @JacksonDorsey6, @CatieHausman, Ömer Karaduman, and I discuss the impact of energy storage on electricity markets. Find out what your electricity bill will be in 10 years*. #ASSA2022
* ok, probably not.
It's #ASSA2022 time! Excited to present two papers. First up: today at 3:45pm EST with @MeeraMahadevan @HarrisonGFell and Gaurav Doshi.
I'll be showing that low-wealth households discount net metering subsidies substantially more than high-wealth hh's.

My beloved CA has the most ridiculous recall system where a right-wing extremist could become governor with 19% of the vote, even if Newsom gets 49.9%.
And so far, everyone back in CA I've talked to has not really known this is going on.
This is for real. Get out and vote.
Hold up.
Larry Elder, the guy most likely to become Gov if Gavin Newsom is recalled:
-Says on Day 1 he will repeal CA’s requirement that health workers be vaccinated.
-Wants to ban mask rules for kids in schools.
Delta and Elder as Gov is dangerous. mercurynews.com/2021/07/29/5…

Neat to see our forthcoming work featured. Thanks, @JaereAere!
Today's #JaereFigureFriday is from forthcoming work by @SextonEcon, @ajkirkpatrick2, @_BobbyHarris and Nick Muller.
This colorful map shows BIG heterogeneity in environmental damages avoided per 4kW capacity of rooftop #solar.

Wonderful news. This is not just a well-deserved recognition for a leader in the field like @tgreames, it's also a great sign that energy justice is being taken seriously.

Looks like I get to do one of those New Research Alerts. Here goes...
🚨 New Research Alert!! 🚨
We estimate the marginal emissions avoided + other benefits of solar panels and compare the total to subsidies for solar. We also look at fraction of benefits captured within-state.
