This webinar discusses EI research showing 80 percent of coal plants are uneconomic compared to new, local wind and solar, and why a clean electricity standard is the ideal policy to maximize the investment and job creation benefits of lower-cost renewables.

In this presentation, EI’s Megan Mahajan demonstrates the features and capabilities of the Energy Policy Simulator for the Oregon House Committee on Energy and the Environment.

During this webinar co-hosted by Energy Innovation and the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San Francisco, American and Korean experts provide an overview of the new U.S. and Republic of Korea Nationally Determined Contributions, discuss what these climate goals mean for the power and industrial sectors, and identify opportunities for the two countries to collaborate.

Energy Innovation analysts discuss state-of-the-art modeling showing a comparatively small set of policies can help the U.S. achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and the emissions reductions required by 2030 for a 1.5°C pathway in line with President Biden’s pledge to reduce emissions 50-52 percent by 2030.

EI’s Hal Harvey and Chris Busch join the California-China Institute at the University of California, Berkeley to discuss why strong climate policies offer a tremendous economic opportunity for China and the potential for increased dialogue and collaboration with the United States.
