TL;DR: In this article, the authors find no evidence that RPSs are associated with increases in renewable energy generation and weak evidence of emissions reductions, and they find that states with RPS experience increases in electricity prices and decreases in electricity demand.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthetic control model is used to compare renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) and non-RPS SCs to find evidence that RPS states have experienced increases in renewable energy generation relative to SCs and weak evidence of emissions reductions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model of overnight development costs for offshore wind projects and tests for the presence of economies of scale and learning effects, both industry-wide and country-specific learning effects are analyzed.

TL;DR: This paper found that the short-run deleterious effects of the export ban on U.S. crude oil production may have been exaggerated and that the mismatch between domestic refining configurations and domestic crude characteristics contributed significantly to this deviation.

TL;DR: This article found that a one standard deviation increase in wind potential is associated with an approximately 4.2 percentage point increase in the probability of having an RPS, while a 6.1 percent increase in solar potential was associated with the same probability.
