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.
EI’s Aimee Witteman says the Minnesota Energy Policy Simulator demonstrates how bolder climate policies would create tens of thousands of jobs for the state and add billions to the economy every year, while advancing health and equity.
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’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.
