Bradford Seminar: “Will New Federal Policy Put the United States on the Path to Net-Zero?”

Jesse Jenkins, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton, will present “Will New Federal Policy Put the United States on the Path to Net-Zero?” This seminar will be held in-person (PUID holders only) and available via livestream (open to all).

Jenkins, a lead researcher on Princeton’s Net-Zero America project, will summarize the major components of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, which mark the first time that the financial might of the federal government is aligned behind the transition to clean energy. He will draw on findings from his REPEAT Project to assess the new laws’ potential impact on the U.S. energy system and the road to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI). Jenkins’ talk is cosponsored by the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance.
