Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hunting for Energy Hogs, with Severin Borenstein
Q: Could you share some examples of good news stories regarding electricity pricing?
Severin notes that while there are few best practices, some places are moving towards fixed charges, but the challenge remains to price electricity to reflect the social marginal cost accurately.
Hunting for Energy Hogs, with Severin Borenstein
Q: Can you give us an example or two of how this idea has actually played out in the real world, maybe in California or elsewhere?
Borenstein discusses how California's electricity billing structure has evolved and how new policies are intended to adjust fixed charges based on income, which will affect how revenue is collected from electricity consumers.
Measuring Emissions from Liquefied Natural Gas, with Arvind Ravikumar
Q: Is there a distinction in the approach that big oil takes relative to little oil when it comes to caring about methane emissions?
Yes, there's a bifurcation in the industry where larger companies prioritize low emissions due to regulatory and customer pressures, while smaller operators often do not face the same incentives.
Measuring Emissions from Liquefied Natural Gas, with Arvind Ravikumar
Q: Can you help us understand why it is still important that we monitor and measure methane emissions from the oil and gas system?
It's important because companies have long-term contracts and must comply with international regulations to continue exporting liquefied natural gas.
Achieving Societal Goals Through Carbon Removal, with Jennifer Wilcox
Q: What are the key principles you suggest for evaluating carbon removal policies?
We identified 10 specific criteria, including business case and climate importance, that can help fulfill multiple objectives.
