Big Cost, Little Benefit: The UN Paris Climate Deal
Research from the American Action Forum (@AAF) finds that the U.S. will have to spend an additional $38 to $45 billion annually in order to reach the goals set by the United Nations in Paris. This would be added onto the president’s already expensive Clean Power Plan. Combined, these regulations could reach $73 billion per year in costs. The benefits of this would be a global temperature decrease of less than 0.2 degrees.
