"The stated goal of many of these policies is to bring down energy costs for American consumers. Yet bringing down costs will be difficult."

Under a so-called “national energy emergency”:
"Trump told the EPA to study whether carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are dangerous air pollutants.

Trump lifted federal environmental and #permitting rules; [this] could force blue states — the Northeast and West Coast — to accept new oil and gas #pipelines and #refineries."

"Sweeping" #climate law in #Massachusetts covers clean energy, support for EVs, and this crucial bit:

"Expediting the siting and #permitting of #CleanEnergy infrastructure projects by requiring that large projects that need state, regional, and local permits be consolidated into a single permit that requires action within 15 months, and that small projects with multiple local permits be consolidated into a single permit with action within 12 months."

"The #SocialCostOfCarbon — a metric for the #climate damage — has been a regulatory staple for years. [Now]d the president ordered agencies to get ready to use it consistently in a host of other government activities — including annual #budgets, #permitting decisions and foreign assistance programs.

Biden also asked agencies to start laying the groundwork to build climate costs into government #procurement."

When you look up at a rooftop solar installation, you see the hard costs. But this stuff isn’t what costs the most. In the U.S. these hard costs only make up about 20% of the total cost of a #system. The soft costs—that’s all the stuff that you don’t see—make up the remaining 80%.
“The soft costs are things like the cost of #permitting, the #overhead charged by the installer, and #inspection costs—even the cost of getting the #sale," Griffith said.
