EI’s Robbie Orvis explains how a set of smart climate policies in line with a global 1.5°C target can reestablish the United States as a global climate leader and create millions of new jobs along the way.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says the U.S. won’t be able to push other countries to adopt new, more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions unless it adopts its own goal of a 50 percent reduction by 2030.

EI modeling using the Energy Policy Simulator shows policies to align with a 1.5°C Scenario would boost U.S. GDP by a cumulative $6.4 trillion by 2035 and by $20 trillion through 2050.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains a new study that finds electric trucks could be 50% cheaper than for diesel trucks by 2030, generating billions in savings and cutting harmful air pollution that disproportionately impacts low-income communities.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says the Biden administration seems more acutely sensitive to addressing the economic effects of climate policies than the administration of former President Obama was when it was crafting health and environmental regulations on coal-fired power plants.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says a clean electricity standard is an investment signal, setting a minimum requirement for how much utilities must spend on clean power that grows each year and a job creator in both Democratic and Republican states.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains new modeling that shows how Nevada can achieve its climate goals, create thousands of good-paying jobs, and add millions to the economy every year by adopting a set of strategic, clean energy policies that align with a global goal to limit warming to 1.5°C.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci outlines China’s carbon neutral opportunity of economic growth from accelerating its climate ambition and carbon peaking target.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says it is an important milestone that wind and solar surpassed coal electricity generation in 2020, though it has been trending that way for years.

EI analysis finds clean energy and climate policies to achieve emissions reductions in line with a 1.5º target would deliver huge co-benefits including adding $1 trillion per year to the economy by 2050.

EI’s Hal Harvey is quoted in this opinion piece by Tom Friedman, saying it is common sense to invest in energy storage and could help prevent future blackouts.

EI study from 2018 shows an increase in federal gas taxes by 25 cents a gallon would result in about 1.2 million additional electric vehicles on the road by 2050.

EI’s Amanda Myers says a successful solution to the demand-charge problem needs to take individual charging stations’ utilization rates into account, and also needs to balance costs borne by utilities with costs borne by EV charging owners and operators if it’s to gain support from both sides.

EI’s Eric Gimon anticipates a very diminished role for gas as an energy resource over the next 10 to 15 years and recommends the gas industry plan for its decline.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says it is technologically and economically feasible to reach 90 percent clean energy by 2035 without raising customer costs, but policy is necessary to achieve a more rapid rate of clean energy deployment.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains new modeling using the Minnesota Energy Policy Simulator that finds Minnesota is not on track to achieve climate goals, but a strategic set of climate and clean energy policies would align the state with a 1.5º target and add 39,000 jobs and $11 billion to the state’s economy per year in 2050.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains the energy markets cascade, a new concept showing how wholesale markets can be designed to support long-term investment in variable renewables and complementary resources through better risk management tools.

EI report shows California’s existing climate policies will achieve reductions that are deep, but not deep enough to push emissions below the 2030 goal without further policy action.

EI’s 2035 Report shows a national clean energy standard of 90 percent clean electricity by 2035 would create jobs and reliably generate electricity without increasing customer costs.

EI study shows if we wait until 2030 to get serious about fixing our climate, it will cost 72% more than if we tackle the challenge today.
