EI research shows a modest gas tax of twenty-five cents per gallon would save 1.3 billion barrels of oil through 2050.

EI’s Dan Esposito highlights three reasons why a clean electricity standard should be a bipartisan policy including major benefits for red and purple states, protections for working families, and broad public and business support.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says now that Biden has announced cleaner car standards, it’s time for Congress to act to adopt more robust incentives to support the all-electric vehicle future.

EI research found the reductions in air pollution under a clean electricity standard would also translate to the equivalent of $1.7 trillion in benefits from reduced health care costs, economic productivity, and lives saved.

EI’s Sara Baldwin explains how smart policy can accelerate the EV transition, make electric vehicles as convenient and affordable as their gas counterparts, and ensure EVs are powered with clean electricity.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains why a national clean electricity standard would significantly reduce toxic air pollution that harms health and save thousands of lives, while also revitalizing pollution-burdened communities.

EI research found that achieving an 80 percent clean electricity grid by 2030 is technologically feasible without having to raise utility costs, and that popularizing clean energy would save $1.7 trillion in health and environmental costs, and avoid 93,000 premature deaths.

EI research with RMI shows if Colorado adopted even stronger climate policies, the state’s economy would add 36,000 jobs and gain an additional $7.5 billion every year by 2050.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman says a national clean electricity standard would invest in the infrastructure we need to rapidly cut harmful fossil fuel emissions and protect our health, while also creating jobs and addressing longstanding injustices.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says eventually buildings will need to be fully electrified, including stovetops, to meet ambitious emissions-reduction goals, presenting an existential threat to the gas industry.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says decarbonizing the electricity sector is the key to decarbonizing the whole economy because so much of the economy needs to be electrified to cut emissions, and getting into place a technology-neutral standard that can significantly cut emissions in a short time frame is really important.

EI’s Chris Busch says the political liabilities of a carbon tax are clear, and if there is too much of a price shock there is push back, but if changes are incremental enough people have time to adjust.

EI report analyzing seven recent studies on a potential CES found that several concluded wholesale power prices would decline by 2030 under such a policy while clean energy jobs and investment would surge.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains new analysis from Morgan Stanley demonstrating why coal-heavy utilities have the most to gain from supporting a national clean electricity standard and may even have a fiduciary duty to support federal clean electricity mandates, if it means higher returns.

EI’s meta-analysis of seven studies that model clean energy policy packages highlights the profound benefits and feasibility of achieving 80 percent clean electricity by 2030.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says utilities in states with the highest costs now face increasing competition from distributed energy resources as the cost of solar energy and battery storage steadily declines.

EI’s Bruce Nilles says the gas industry has wielded enormous power and influence for decades and is now facing an existential threat. As coal disappears, they know they are next.

EI’s Dan Esposito says the combined benefits of a clean electricity standard are so enormous that adopting a clean electricity standard would amount to a no regrets energy policy.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says to succeed in the global economy and create good-paying clean energy jobs in the United States, we must pass significantly more support for clean energy industries as laid out in President Biden’s American Jobs Plan.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says prioritizing clean homes, transportation, and electricity will benefit Utahns where they live and put America on the path to economic recovery and a healthier future.
