Considerations for Washington’s Linkage Negotiations with California and QuébecAConsiderations for Washington’s Linkage Negotiations with California and QuébecNicholas Roy, Suzanne Russo, and Dallas BurtrawReport 25-05 March 2025Resources for the FutureiAbout the Authors Nicholas Roy is research associate at Resources for the Future working on US national and state climate policy. At the federal level, Roy utilized the Haiku simulation model to analyze the impacts of clean energy tax credits, renewable energy standards, and emissions pricing on the power sector. His analysis has informed the legislative negotiations for Build Back Better which ultimately resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act. At the subnational level, he has developed a model for evaluating market design mechanisms in emissions trading systems. This has informed Washington state and California’s regulatory agencies on how to improve market efficiency, equity, program revenues, and carbon dioxide removal incentives.Suzanne Russo is a fellow at RFF and the director of the Environmental Justice Initiative, focusing on equitability in the climate transition. Prior to joining RFF, Russo spent five years as the CEO for Pecan Street Inc.—a nonprofit organization working to advance data and technology solutions for the climate crisis—and held several other roles during her 13-year tenure. While serving as CEO, Russo expanded Pecan Street’s focus from distributed energy resources to include techno-socio-environmental research and solutions development for transit and climate-beneficial agriculture as well as founding the Center for Race, Energy & Climate Justice.Dallas Burtraw is a senior fellow at RFF who has worked to promote efficient control of air pollution and written extensively on electricity industry regulation and environmental outcomes. Burtraw’s current research includes analysis of the distributional and regional consequences of climate policy, the evolution of electricity markets including renewable integration, and the interaction of climate policy with electricity markets. He has provided technical support in the design of carbon dioxide emissions trading programs in the Northeast states, California, and the European Union. He also has studied regulation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide under the Clean Air Act and conducted integrated assessment of costs, and modeled health and ecosystem effects and valuation, including ecosystem improvement in the Adirondack Park and the southern Appalachian region.About the CoverThe wind turbines on the cover are from the hills south of Tri-Cities Washington State.
