EI’s Anand Gopal explains how smart policies helped kickstart the EV transition, and why we need further policies to kick it into overdrive.
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more severe as climate change accelerates. Advances in modeling now make it possible to more quickly and reliably determine to what extent global warming causes individual events, offering greater opportunities to educate the public about climate change impacts.
EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains the promise of agrivoltaics, the process of generating solar power in conjunction with agricultural practices.
EI’s Sara Baldwin explains why clean energy and climate action are not to blame for this winter’s high natural gas prices, and in fact, the Build Back Better Act’s electrification policies would protect consumers from future price shocks.
EI’s Olivia Ashmoore discusses new modeling that shows decarbonization policies would have strong benefits for Louisiana’s economy, public health, and environment.
EI’s Silvio Marcacci talks with venture capitalist and climate advocate John Doerr about his new book Speed & Scale, which examines what needs to be done to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Solar power plays an essential role in the clean energy transition, but its land-use requirements put it in direct competition with agriculture. New research on agrivoltaics demonstrates the benefits of combining both solar and agricultural production including increased productivity, water conservation, and local economic development, while also bolstering public support for clean energy.
EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains the Build Back Better Act’s methane fee would provide a significant economic jolt while dramatically reducing a potent greenhouse gas.
EI’s Megan Mahajan explains why the current set of climate policies in the Build Back Better Act are unprecedented in U.S. federal policy.
