Reposted by Kristina KarlssonClimate and Community Institute @cplusc.bsky.social · 16/09/2026NEW: If you live in the US, your electricity might cost an additional $376/year by 2030. Why? Utilities are passing on $1.4 trillion in costs—largely to deal with AI expansion and climate disasters—to customers over the next five years. stopgreedbuildgreen.climateandcommunity.org/posts/the-bl... 196
Kristina Karlsson @karlsson-kris.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My new paper for @cplusc.bsky.social is out! I estimate the potential household cost impacts from utilities’ planned 1.4T in capex spending in the next 5 years — the majority of which is motivated by data center demand and extreme weather mitigation.

Kristina Karlsson @karlsson-kris.bsky.social · 07/05/2026My new brief for @cplusci is out today! I tried to take on the “tradeoff” question from a different starting point: where decarbonization and affordability are stated political goals, and the task is to find the right policy and market/ownership structure to achieve them. 1116

Kristina Karlsson @karlsson-kris.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Fed Lit #2 is out now! The paper we profiled demonstrates the role uncertainty plays in amplifying the econ impacts of climate risk. In light of recent "bad vibes" data tracking consumer sentiment/uncertainty - this analysis shows that vibes + material temperature changes = real economy stagnation. 021
Reposted by Kristina KarlssonRoosevelt Institute @rooseveltinstitute.org · 21/03/2025🔥 Rising temperatures + unpredictable economic policy = a recipe for stagnation. States with high policy uncertainty face 10x the economic hit from climate risk.

Reposted by Kristina Karlssongraham steele @grahamsteele.bsky.social · 09/01/2025It's worth noting that the risks between short-term insurance policies, long-term mortgages, and climate change aren't new, even if we're seeing increasingly dire examples of how it can manifest.
