Why Wind And Solar Are Ready To Power China’s Next 40 Years

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains a recent study finds China can enhance its energy security, address recent grid reliability issues, and cut its reliance on coal power.

EI’s Chris Busch explains zero-emission vehicle sales standards are policies that could greatly speed up transportation electrification in two of the world’s largest car markets.

In order to stay safe and healthy during wildfire smoke events, communities need to understand the health impacts of exposure, know the interventions they can take to mitigate risks, have access to accurate air quality data, and most importantly, have access to clean indoor air. Recent research underscores opportunities to improve smoke readiness across these dimensions.

EI’s Sara Baldwin and Hadley Tallackson explain how the Inflation Reduction Act can help policymakers cut energy bills while protecting consumers from future energy price spikes.

EI’s Anand Gopal explains zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) are a mature and cost-effective technology ready to take over our roads. But policymakers must act now to leverage the tremendous climate, health, and savings benefits.

EI’s Greg Alvarez explains the overwhelming majority of onshore wind and solar projects are permitted at the state and local level, and fossil fuel-funded opponents are stirring up local backlash that jeopardizes clean energy goals.

Wildfires are increasing in intensity, frequency, and size, decimating ecosystems and devastating communities. As worries about the impacts of wildfires grow, researchers are ramping up efforts to understand wildfires’ water quality repercussions. Studies conducted following the Marshall and Camp fires will help lay the groundwork for future water resiliency efforts and community preparedness.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains public health impacts from extreme weather persist long after the event fades from headlines.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci talks with RAP Senior Associate Dr. Richard Lowes to better understand the climate and economic benefits of heat pumps, as well as what polices are needed to speed their adoption.

EI’s Jeff Rissman explains industrial heat pumps could eliminate a signification portion of greenhouse gas emissions from industry, but further policy support is needed to speed their adoption.
