EPRI Participates in National Academy of Sciences Workshop
EPRI’s Geoff Blanford and Richard Richels participated in a National Academy of Sciences Workshop on Modeling the Economics of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation, held April 15–16 in Washington, DC.  The workshop stimulated a dialogue about the relative strengths and weaknesses of models used to assess the economic impacts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Dr. Blanford presented a paper on sectoral offsets, while Dr. Richels participated in several panel and discussion sessions.  Dr. Richels also served on the Workshop planning committee at the invitation of the National Academy of Sciences.  Proceedings from the Workshop are to appear in a special issue of Energy Economics later this year.  For more information, contact Richard Richels, (202) 293-2160, rrichels@epri.com, or Geoff Blanford, (650) 855-2126, gblanford@epri.com.
