Abstract
⺠We ask whether state-level renewable electricity policies in the United States have succeeded in lowering carbon emissions. ⺠We examine net metering, retail choice, fuel generation disclosure, mandatory green power options, public benefit funds, and renewable portfolio standards. ⺠The introduction of public benefit funds, a kind of carbon tax, is associated with decreases in carbon emissions.
