Increasing transmission between regions in the US power grid would dramatically improve grid reliability during extreme weather events, lead to cost savings, and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In a new report, Audun Botterud, John Parsons, Christopher Knittel, Juan Senga, and Drew Story, PhD evaluate four policy options for increasing interregional transmission and explain the projected impacts of each.

?? The second edition of the Earth Action Report is here—bringing together expert insights to drive real change. Our own affiliated faculty member John Sterman joined together with 99 others (including MIT Sloan School of Management alumna Kate Williams and research affiliate and member of the MIT Climate Pathways Project Florian Kapmeier) to deliver collective insights, key priorities, and concrete solutions to accelerate systemic change in 2025. From John in the report: "Carbon pricing and cap-and trade schemes incentivize everyone to reduce emissions, and—crucially—rebating all the revenues to the people as a “carbon dividend” ensures that low-income individuals come out as winners since they typically have a lower carbon lifestyle and benefit from rebates. Not only does this advance climate goals, it helps those in need and stimulates the economy." Co-created by ChangeNOW and KPMG this report is a must-read for climate policy leaders The report highlights five key priorities for systemic change in 2025, the barriers, and the real solutions that can drive progress. ??
