EI’s Sara Baldwin says updates to building codes and processes to better support electrification are urgently needed and would cut emissions from the buildings sector, avoid dangerous climate change, and improve health and equity.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says ending the use of fossil fuels in all new construction as soon as possible is critical to meeting climate targets.

EI’s Eric Gimon says investing in winterization of wind and solar and home insulation could prevent the next Texas electricity grid crisis, and would be a more efficient and effective way investment that Buffett’s proposed new gas.

EI’s Sara Baldwin explains why focusing on electrification in just thirteen top industries could deliver deep emissions reductions, and how smart policies can jumpstart low-carbon technology adoption and reduce electric costs.

EI’s Hal Harvey says government buying power can make new technologies more cost-effective, and the private sector, spurred by ever-stronger performance standards can then make them ubiquitous.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says retiring all coal and achieving 80 percent clean electricity by 2030 is key to halving emissions this decade and must be part of a new U.S. Nationally Determined Contribution.

EI’s Bruce Nilles says the 350,000 federal government buildings are perfect for showcasing the pollution and financial savings associated with making them all-electric.

EI’s Robbie Orvis explains how a set of smart climate policies in line with a global 1.5°C target can reestablish the United States as a global climate leader and create millions of new jobs along the way.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says the U.S. won’t be able to push other countries to adopt new, more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions unless it adopts its own goal of a 50 percent reduction by 2030.

EI modeling using the Energy Policy Simulator shows policies to align with a 1.5°C Scenario would boost U.S. GDP by a cumulative $6.4 trillion by 2035 and by $20 trillion through 2050.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains a new study that finds electric trucks could be 50% cheaper than for diesel trucks by 2030, generating billions in savings and cutting harmful air pollution that disproportionately impacts low-income communities.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says the Biden administration seems more acutely sensitive to addressing the economic effects of climate policies than the administration of former President Obama was when it was crafting health and environmental regulations on coal-fired power plants.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says a clean electricity standard is an investment signal, setting a minimum requirement for how much utilities must spend on clean power that grows each year and a job creator in both Democratic and Republican states.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains new modeling that shows how Nevada can achieve its climate goals, create thousands of good-paying jobs, and add millions to the economy every year by adopting a set of strategic, clean energy policies that align with a global goal to limit warming to 1.5°C.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci outlines China’s carbon neutral opportunity of economic growth from accelerating its climate ambition and carbon peaking target.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says it is an important milestone that wind and solar surpassed coal electricity generation in 2020, though it has been trending that way for years.

EI analysis finds clean energy and climate policies to achieve emissions reductions in line with a 1.5º target would deliver huge co-benefits including adding $1 trillion per year to the economy by 2050.

EI’s Hal Harvey is quoted in this opinion piece by Tom Friedman, saying it is common sense to invest in energy storage and could help prevent future blackouts.

EI study from 2018 shows an increase in federal gas taxes by 25 cents a gallon would result in about 1.2 million additional electric vehicles on the road by 2050.

EI’s Amanda Myers says a successful solution to the demand-charge problem needs to take individual charging stations’ utilization rates into account, and also needs to balance costs borne by utilities with costs borne by EV charging owners and operators if it’s to gain support from both sides.
