Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent benefit-cost studies have shown that the marginal benefits from controlling conventional air emissions from coal-fired electric utility power plants in the US exceed marginal costs of pollution control. Moreover existing and proposed regulations ignore harm caused by the emission of greenhouse gases and harm caused in Canada. This means that electricity prices are too low wherever coal is the predominant fuel. However the same studies suggest that the mis-pricing of electricity is 4% or less. This paper will argue that in some regions of the US the wholesale price of electricity should be increased by up to 50%, if all externalities are to be included in the price. Getting the environmental price right could reduce pollution levels, increase energy conservation, and lead to wiser choices of new generation technology.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
