• <H1> The Climate Impact of Repealing the Clean Power Plan Is Less Than Half of What the DOE Thought It Was In 2016
• <H2> In 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projected that repealing the Clean Power Plan would increase carbon dioxide emissions by 424 million tons.
• <H2> In 2017, DOE revised that number downward by more than half, projecting that repealing the Clean Power Plan would increase emissions by 199 million tons.

• <H1> In 2016, Power Plants Used 40% Less Coal Than 2010's Prediction
• <H2> In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy projected that U.S. power plants would generate nearly 2 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity from coal in 2016.
• <H2> In 2016, actual data from the U.S. Department of Energy showed that U.S. power plants generated 1.2 trillion kWh of electricity from coal.
• <H2> The actual data for 2016 are 40% lower than initially projected in 2010.
• <H2> Projected vs. Actual Electricity from Coal (Trillion kWh)

• <H1> California Analysis Shows Market-Based Climate Policy Is Over 80% Cheaper Than Regulation-Based Policy
• <H2> Economic analysis released by the California Air Resources Board in 2016 shows that achieving their 2030 carbon reduction target with market-based policies costs $1.7 billion, while a regulation-based approach costs $9.7 billion.
• <H2> The analysis shows that market-based policies can achieve the same carbon reduction target as regulatory policies, but at an 80% cheaper cost.

• <H1> 2016 Report: Phasing Out All Federal Fossil Fuel Leases Would Reduce Carbon Emissions, But Not Nearly by Enough to Avoid Worst Climate Risks
• <H2> A 2016 report calculates that a U.S. Federal Government phase-out of all fossil fuel leases would reduce carbon emissions by an amount (100 million tons by 2030) roughly equal to recent Federal fuel efficiency regulations.
• <H2> As the figure below shows, this phase-out would close the gap by 9%, in 2030, between where U.S. emissions are trending and where they must be to avoid the worst climate risks.

• <H1> New York Times Poll: Two-Thirds of Americans Support a Carbon Tax if the Revenue is Rebated to All Americans
• <H2> % of Americans That Support a Carbon Tax if the Revenue is Used to Lower Income Taxes
• <H2> A January 2015 poll by the New York Times, Stanford, and Resources for the Future found that 67% of Americans support a carbon tax if the revenue is rebated equally to all Americans by reducing income taxes.
• <H2> The poll showed less support (61%) for a carbon tax that did not specify use of the tax revenue.

• <H1> Report: Taxing Carbon and Giving the Revenue Back to Families Can Boost the Economy, Lower Carbon Emissions, and Save Lives
• <H2> A 2013 report from REMI, a consulting firm commissioned by Citizens Climate Lobby, shows that taxing carbon and rebating all of the revenue back to families is a net benefit for the U.S. economy (in each year, economic output is higher than in a scenario without the policy).
• <H2> The report finds that this "carbon fee and dividend" approach reduces five times as much carbon emissions in 2030 than the Clean Power Plan.
• <H2> The report also shows that the policy can prevent over 13,000 premature deaths and give the average family of four a $350 monthly check to compensate them for higher energy prices by 2030.
• <H3> Matthew Lichtash
• <H1> Oil Is the Biggest Source of Greenhouse Gas Pollution in the U.S.
• <H2> Oil accounted for 43% of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in 2015, exceeding both coal and natural gas, which each accounted for 28%.
• <H2> In 2016, natural gas is expected to emit more GHGs than coal for the first time since 1978.
• <H3> Matthew Lichtash
• <H1> The Paris Climate Agreement Does Not Impose Any Penalties If Countries Fail to Achieve Climate Pledges
• <H2> The December 2015 agreement does not contain any penalties if countries fail to meet announced targets.
• <H2> The Paris agreement requires countries to increase the stringency of their climate pledges every five years (with no specific amount required).
• <H2> The agreement requires countries to report on progress towards meeting climate pledges.
• <H3> Matthew Lichtash
• <H1> The U.S.'s Climate Change Target Is Way Weaker than Europe's
• <H2> The U.S.'s 2020 greenhouse gas reduction target is 17% below 2005 levels, equivalent to only 2% below 1990 levels (the reduction relative to 2005 is bigger because emissions in that year were far higher than in 1990).
• <H2> Europe's 2020 reduction target is 20% below 1990 levels.
• <H2> The U.S.'s 2025 reduction target is 14% below 1990 levels, while Europe's is about 30%.
• <H2> The U.S. and Europe's climate targets (% below 1990 levels)
• <H3> Matthew Lichtash
• <H1> The U.S.'s Climate Change Commitment is Not Strong Enough to Avoid the Worst Climate Impacts
• <H2> The U.S. has promised to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 27% below 2005 levels by 2025, but is currently projected to fall short of this goal.
• <H2> To do its part to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the U.S. must instead reduce GHG emissions by at least 30% below 2005 levels by 2025 (we are also currently projected to fall short of this obligation - see chart below).
• <H2> The U.S. must pass additional greenhouse gas reduction policies in order to achieve its climate obligation of 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 (see chart below).
