The focus of this report was on the potential near- and medium-term implications for electricity and other energy prices and for national economic impacts brought on by four major environmental regulations (the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, Utility MACT, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Clean Water Act). The REMI PI+ model was used in conjunction with the National Energy Modeling System to ascertain a complete macroeconomic comprehension of the effects and impacts created by these environmental regulations. Modeling these regulations led to important findings on annual and total job loss, national gross domestic product, and national disposable personal income in the time frame of 2012-2020.
