EI analysis shows Canada will miss its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 30% below 2005 levels by 2030 under the Paris Climate Accord, by a significantly larger gap than the shortfall predicted by Canada’s government, even with its ambitious Pan-Canadian Framework.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle and Silvio Marcacci outline how renewable energy’s levelized cost of energy falling below fossil fuels make it the least-cost source of new generation, and the barriers remaining to a high-renewables grid.

Poland is a lynchpin for European climate efforts and is at a crossroads between unprofitable domestic coal, Russian natural gas, and clean energy. New EI analysis shows choosing clean energy can cut Poland’s emissions 40% and save $26 billion by 2050.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci says new research shows charging an electric vehicle in the U.S. is far cleaner than driving on gasoline, regardless of where it charges.

An annual survey of North American utilities shows widespread support for carbon pricing and a nearly unanimous rejection of coal power – unwelcome news for the Trump Administration’s energy agenda.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says an economic boom is coming for the global cooling industry, with big implications for policymakers and companies setting the international energy and climate agenda.

Research shows a $0.25 U.S. gas tax increase would raise $840 billion in revenue, add 1.2 million additional electric vehicles to the road, cut total fuel use more than 1.3 billion barrels and would equal a $29/ton carbon tax on the transportation sector.

EI’s Hal Harvey writes that the Trump Administration reversing federal fuel efficiency targets would be a bad decision for U.S. automakers, consumers, and the climate – and it could spark “war” with California and 13 other states.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle and Robbie Orvis say it’s time to change how we talk about wholesale markets: Using opaque electricity market jargon can favor fossil fuel generation at the expense of cleaner technologies.

EI’s Hal Harvey says new wind and solar plants are offering the cheapest power available in places like Colorado, which has led to big utilities investing in renewables, but states need to help utilities transition away from less efficient fossil fuel plants.
