'For example, local pollution benefits are greater on the East Coast, where such pollution is a bigger problem. ', "I'm talking about the renewable portfolio standard (RPS): state laws that mandate a certain minimum amount of renewable energy in the electricity mix, rising over time."
'And they have been driving renewable energy deployment. '
'Much has been made of the rapid rise of renewable energy in the US, but the policy workhorse behind it does not get nearly enough attention or credit. '
'To wit: In 2013, existing US RPSs avoided $5.2 billion in local pollution impacts and $2.2 billion in climate change impacts. '
