EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains that a new Department of Energy report finds there are now over 3 million net-zero carbon jobs in the U.S., with big growth in EV positions.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains green hydrogen can provide crucial flexibility that’s needed as we transition to an electric grid with high-renewable energy penetration.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains California needs to triple its emission reduction pace to hit its climate targets, which it can do by strengthening greenhouse gas reductions policies while also strengthening its economy.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains EVs are often cheaper on day one of ownership compared to gasoline counterparts, but Congress needs to take action to give more Americans access to them.

This week, Energy Innovation released new research evaluating California’s climate progress and identifying a policy pathway that would reaffirm California as a climate leader. This modeling showed the state is off track for its 2030 and 2045 climate goals and must triple its historic emissions reduction pace. Doing so would generate billions in new GDP and hundreds of thousands of new jobs statewide.

EI’s Greg Alvarez explains that while hydrogen will be an important climate tool, the specifics of a project matter and some will do little to cut emissions, like one under consideration in Pennsylvania.

EI’s Sara Baldwin explains the Biden Administration’s recent executive actions focused on boosting American clean technology manufacturing could have a revolutionary effect.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains California can make its grid cleaner and more reliable by diversifying its portfolio of clean energy sources.
