EI’s Louisiana Energy Policy Simulator is cited in an article discussing policy proposals to decarbonize the state’s industrial sector.

EI’s Mary Anne Hitt shares heartfelt thoughts on climate advocacy and the pandemic in this Q&A.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci writes the Biden administration’s move to phase out super-polluting hydrofluorocarbons could generate billions in new manufacturing revenue and help equalize the international trade imbalance.

EI’s Mary Anne Hitt says personal losses during COVID remind us of the importance of avoiding dangerous climate change by enacting policies to cut emissions and add clean energy.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says the new California “electric ready” building code missed an opportunity to phase out fossil fuels in buildings, but is an important step in the right direction, especially given the strong opposition by the gas industry.

EI’s Chris Busch explains why the American Jobs Plan’s smart investments in domestic manufacturing would re-establish the U.S. as the world’s top electric vehicle exporter while creating millions of quality jobs.

In the third in a three-part series, EI’s Dan Esposito and Eric Gimon outline lessons learned from the Texas Big Freeze, and policy prescriptions for regulators and government officials across the U.S. to prepare for extreme weather-related grid disasters.

EI analysts outline how worsening economics have made running 80% of the U.S. coal fleet uneconomic compared to replacement with new local renewables, and how policymakers can plan for the transition.

EI analysts discuss how plummeting renewable energy prices have made running most Wisconsin coal plants uneconomic compared to replacement by new local wind and solar.

EI’s Eric Gimon says 80 percent of U.S. coal plants are now more expensive to keep running than to swap out for new wind and solar capacity, and this is becoming true for more and more plants moving forward—at an accelerating pace.

EI report shows eight in 10 coal plants now running are either more expensive than their wind and solar counterparts or on their way to retirement, with coal plants becoming uneconomic at a faster pace than projected.

EI’s Eric Gimon says as time goes on, federal subsidies will have less and less impact (as they diminish and renewables continue to get cheaper) on the energy-cost comparison between coal and new renewables.

EI research is cited in an article discussing the feasibility of implementing a clean energy standard in the United States.

EI’s Eric Gimon discusses the increasingly unfavorable economics of continuing to operate U.S. coal plants compared to replacement with new local renewable energy.

EI’s Robbie Orvis told the Nevada Assembly Growth and Infrastructure Committee that transitioning to a low carbon economy in Nevada is actually a large job creator because of the required buildout and deployment of new technologies.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says decarbonizing the U.S. electric grid will be a linchpin to decarbonizing the whole economy because it clears up a significant portion of U.S. emissions while allowing for electrification in other sectors.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says getting to net-zero emissions by 2050 is feasible and would generate millions of new jobs and significant GDP growth for the U.S. as demonstrated by our modeling and several other recent decarbonization studies.

EI analysis shows to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 the U.S. needs to phase out coal power by 2030, reach 100 percent clean electricity by 2035, ensure all car and bus sales are electric by 2035, and move to all-electric building component sales in the 2030s.

EI’s Jeff Rissman says to decarbonize, industry should design longer-lasting, lower-carbon materials and make their processes more efficient, but policy is required to support research and development and help incentivize a transition to zero-carbon energy.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains why delaying ambitious policies to cut emissions by just ten years would cost the U.S. economy $3.5 trillion, and why enacting economy-wide clean energy policies now is the smarter choice.
