Air Quality & Climate Change

Air quality and climate change regulations continue to be at the center of energy and environmental policy debates.

We assist government and regulatory entities, companies, and associations in analyzing and executing strategies to meet both business objectives and environmental regulations. Brattle economists have actively participated in the development and compliance of the Clean Air Act and related federal and state laws and regulations for more than thirty years. We recently studied the impact of coal-fired power plant closures on visibility and the impact of environmental compliance costs on capacity planning and fuel demand in the Midwest.
