Made it to Delhi. Air Quality is…oof!

Our IFS report on air pollution is out! Good news first: air pollution (PM2.5) has HALVED in England since 2003, with a big drop during Covid. There's no rebound post Covid, somewhat puzzlingly. We use DEFRA data, monitoring station data shows the same thing. (1/7) ifs.org.uk/publications...

Hello #EnergySky #EconSky! I have a simple question: How many different companies own transmission infrastructure in the U.S.? The EIA has this handy graphic on distribution companies, and generation is similarly easy to find. Help would be great. Thanks!

Two misconceptions about air quality and air purifier efficacy hold back adoption of a beneficial technology. Nice summary on @voxdev.bsky.social of Chaudhury, @teevrat.bsky.social, @maulikjagnani.bsky.social, @martinmattsson.bsky.social working paper. voxdev.org/topic/energy...

Interesting-looking new global #energytransition study in Nature Energy. Cost of capital varies strongly among countries but much global modeling does not take this into account. This new study does 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today on Volts: @solarchase.bsky.social has been analyzing the solar power industry for almost 20 years now & is about to release the second edition of her wonderful introductory book on the subject, so I had her on the pod to check in on the state of solar power.

New #RCT evidence showing air quality improvements (~37%) from air purifiers in textile factories in Dhaka improve worker productivity by 27%. 24-hour average indoor air pollution levels in study factories are ~70mg/m3. blogs.worldbank.org/developmentt...
