EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains new research showing China does not need to build any of its planned new coal to provide reliability, but that the country can transition faster to clean energy without compromising reliability or affordability, even accounting for economic growth and widespread electrification.
The United States Energy Policy Simulator 3.3 update builds on the previously released version 3.2.1 by adding demographic breakdowns of premature mortality, improving the user interface, and adding policies to address domestic manufacturing and nitrous oxide emissions, among other improvements.
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.
A critical tipping point for the Earth’s climate is the potential transformation of the world’s largest tropical forests from carbon sinks into net sources of emissions, which has been challenging for researchers to predict. But now, groundbreaking studies analyzing observations from Amazonian and African tropical forests find these forests have already reached or are nearing their “saturation points.” Halting deforestation and degradation of forests, while cutting global emissions is critical.
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’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.
