Achievement

We presented a selected paper at the Allied Social Science Meetings in January 2012 that involved examining a comparison of existing energy policies with an equivalent (on an emissions reduction basis) carbon tax. We used a modified version of the MARKAL model, which includes 1000s of energy technologies and land supply for biofuels, new natural gas supplies, and fleet costs of increased fuel economy. The model includes the latest information on other technologies including solar, and the solar will be modified in the future as new information becomes available.
