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.
EI’s Sarah Spengeman says a national clean electricity standard would invest in the infrastructure we need to rapidly cut harmful fossil fuel emissions and protect our health, while also creating jobs and addressing longstanding injustices.
EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains new analysis from Morgan Stanley demonstrating why coal-heavy utilities have the most to gain from supporting a national clean electricity standard and may even have a fiduciary duty to support federal clean electricity mandates, if it means higher returns.
EI’s Sara Baldwin says prioritizing clean homes, transportation, and electricity will benefit Utahns where they live and put America on the path to economic recovery and a healthier future.
EI’s Mike O’Boyle says to succeed in the global economy and create good-paying clean energy jobs in the United States, we must pass significantly more support for clean energy industries as laid out in President Biden’s American Jobs Plan.
