Karl Hausker

Karl Hausker, a Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute’s Polsky Center, dives deep into the nuanced world of electricity costs and decarbonization. He explains the often-misunderstood levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and highlights its limitations when comparing different power sources. Hausker emphasizes the necessity of clean firm resources alongside renewables for reliable energy. He also discusses the role of companies in managing scope 2 emissions and critiques misleading public comparisons of LCOE, calling for better metrics to guide energy policy.
