claimThe National Research Council (NRC) stated in 2012 that leveling the playing field for global corporations considering investment opportunities for renewables in the United States and other global market centers requires removing barriers to U.S. competitiveness while encouraging private-sector investment.
referenceThe National Research Council committee concluded in a 2011 study that implementing a price on CO2 emissions is a critical component of a comprehensive national CO2 mitigation program.
referenceThe National Research Council (2010a) identified the primary barriers to renewable energy deployment as the cost-competitiveness of existing technologies relative to other electricity sources (when carbon emissions and other externalities are unpriced), the lack of sufficient transmission capacity to move electricity to demand centers, and the lack of sustained policies.
claimPricing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions provides the foundation for cost-effective reductions in GHG emissions and creates a sustainable market for renewable energy resources, according to a 2010 National Research Council report.
claimThe National Research Council study (NRC, 2013c) concluded that energy and economic models were not well suited to modeling the impacts of tax policies like the production tax credit.
claimThe National Research Council (2010a) asserts that establishing renewable energy as a major future energy source requires innovation in both renewable technologies and grid technologies.
claimA prior National Research Council study found that the combined impact of state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) and the federal production tax credit (PTC) on new wind power builds is only slightly greater than the impact of either policy alone.

claimThe Geological Society of America concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2011), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2013), and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (2014) that global climate has warmed in response to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and that human activities are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s.
