On June 19, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, which will replace the Obama-era Clean Power Plan. Resources for the Future (RFF) researchers have been leading efforts to understand the emissions, economic, and health implications of the ACE rule. Their extensive research on the regulation—in particular, the “emissions rebound effect" that will likely increase carbon dioxide emissions under ACE in at least 18 states—has been reported on by the New York Times, Washington Post, and others in their coverage of recent developments.

At 12:30 PM on Thursday, June 27, join RFF’s Dallas Burtraw and legal experts Megan Herzog, Jeffrey R. Holmstead, and Nathan Richardson as they examine the economic and legal implications of the ACE rule. Legal scholar Sally Katzen will give introductory remarks, and The Guardian's Emily Holden will moderate.

When: Thursday, June 27, 12:30 PM–1:45 PM; doors will open and lunch will be served at noon.

Where: Resources & Conservation Center, 1400 16th St. NW, Washington, DC, 20036
