This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute describes the role of energy storage in enhancing grid resilience, integrating intermittent renewable energy, and managing peak demand. It details various storage technologies—including pumped-storage hydropower, batteries, compressed air, thermal, hydrogen, and flywheels—comparing their technical specifications, costs, and current global applications.

A Green Bond Fact Sheet detailing a USD 362 million private placement issued by Dominion Energy Inc. on November 2, 2018, to refinance solar energy projects.

This fact sheet describes the formation and goals of the United States Climate Alliance and other subnational efforts to uphold the 2016 Paris Agreement following the Trump Administration's decision to withdraw the United States from the accord.

This World Resources Institute fact sheet provides data on employment growth within the United States clean energy economy, focusing on solar, wind, energy efficiency, and alternative fuel vehicle sectors as of early 2016 and 2017.

This briefing, presented at Stanford University on March 9, 2016, provides a historical analysis of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) attempts to site nuclear waste repositories and storage facilities. The author argues that the DOE has a history of failing to keep promises and ignoring 'non-consent,' leading to a pattern of litigation and failure in establishing long-term high-level waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF) solutions.

A letter dated March 2, 2016, addressed to Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia, urging the state to maximize investments in energy efficiency to meet Clean Power Plan (CPP) compliance goals. The letter, signed by a broad coalition of industry and environmental organizations, argues that energy efficiency is the most cost-effective method for reducing emissions and lowering consumer energy bills.

The World Resources Institute argues that the U.S. Supreme Court's temporary stay on the Clean Power Plan (CPP) should not deter climate action, asserting that the plan is legally sound and provides significant economic and public health benefits that outweigh its compliance costs.

This fact sheet provides a comprehensive overview of the global offshore wind energy sector as of early 2016, contrasting the established European market with the emerging industry in the United States. It details the technical advantages of offshore wind over onshore wind, current installation capacities, key market players, and the economic and environmental impacts of the transition.

This guidance document, produced by the Environmental Justice Leadership Forum on Climate Change, provides a framework for state agencies to incorporate equity and environmental justice (EJ) into the planning and implementation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2015 Clean Power Plan (CPP). It emphasizes the need for meaningful community engagement, the use of EJ analyses to prevent disparate impacts, and the prioritization of public health and a 'just transition' for workers and overburdened communities.

As of 2016, Europe dominated the global offshore wind market, with the UK, Germany, and Denmark leading in installed capacity. The United States, while possessing vast potential (over 4,000 GW), was in the early stages of deployment with its first commercial project at Block Island. The document highlights the technical advantages of offshore wind—such as stronger winds and proximity to coastal population centers—and notes the significant job creation potential in the EU sector.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute outlines how Virginia can meet and exceed the U.S. EPA's Clean Power Plan requirement to reduce power sector emissions by 23 percent below 2012 levels by 2030. It identifies three primary pathways—improving energy efficiency, increasing renewable energy, and utilizing existing natural gas plants—and details the potential economic benefits of these actions.

This briefing describes the establishment and outcomes of the State, Local and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience, created by President Obama via Executive Order 13653 on November 1, 2013. The Task Force, comprising 26 governors, mayors, tribal leaders, and county officials, provided the federal government with 35 key recommendations to improve community climate resilience, emphasizing the need for inter-agency coordination and the integration of climate vulnerabilities into all federal policies and investments.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) issued a statement responding to President Obama's 2014 State of the Union address, supporting the administration's plan to enact new emissions standards for existing power plants and emphasizing the economic benefits of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

This 2013 issue brief by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute examines the funding crisis of the U.S. Highway Trust Fund (HTF), noting that federal fuel taxes have not been adjusted in 20 years. The document analyzes the resulting infrastructure deterioration, the reliance on General Fund transfers to maintain solvency, and various policy options—including inflation indexing, fuel tax increases, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) fees—to close a $112 billion annual funding gap.

This issue brief from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute examines the role of energy storage technologies in mitigating electricity industry challenges, integrating renewable energy, and improving grid reliability. It details various storage technologies—ranging from pumped hydro and compressed air to advanced batteries and flywheels—and analyzes the impact of U.S. federal policies, specifically FERC orders and Department of Energy (DOE) initiatives, in overcoming implementation barriers.

This policy brief from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) examines the role of energy storage technologies in mitigating electricity industry challenges, integrating renewable energy, and improving grid reliability. It provides a technical overview of various storage methods, analyzes the impact of U.S. federal policies and legislation, and highlights specific large-scale implementation projects across the United States.

This policy brief examines the funding crisis facing the U.S. Highway Trust Fund (HTF), noting that federal fuel taxes have not been adjusted since 1993. It details the resulting infrastructure deterioration, the reliance on General Fund transfers to maintain solvency, and various proposed solutions including inflation indexing, fuel tax increases, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) fees.

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Executive Council (EC) report details the process of establishing a tripartite structure for the IAI Executive Directorate involving Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, as well as leadership changes within the EC.

This report by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) examines the state of the advanced biofuels industry in the United States following the 2008 economic recession. It analyzes national policy trends, identifies critical barriers to commercialization—including technological hurdles, market volatility, and regulatory uncertainty—and provides ten specific policy recommendations for state governments to support sustainable, local biofuel development during periods of limited fiscal capacity.

This report by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) analyzes how state climate action plans in the United States incorporate land use, transportation, and green building policies as of July 2009. It finds that while transportation and green building are common, specific 'smart growth' land use practices are the least frequent component of these plans.
