Abstract:
The article analyzes how SO2 and NOx standards from the New Source Review affect CO2 emissions from US power plants. The results show that a 1 percent increase in the likelihood of being sued lowers CO2 emissions by 0.3 percent, which is comparable to a $ 10 per tonne carbon tax. Further decomposition analysis shows that most of these carbon co-benefits arise from the shutdown of both coal-fired power plants and some power units.
