This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines how implementing energy efficiency policies in Virginia can reduce carbon pollution, lower energy costs for residents and government, and improve public health by 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of prioritizing energy efficiency in Wisconsin, specifically regarding carbon pollution goals and cost savings by 2030.

A fact sheet by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlining the economic, health, and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in West Virginia, including potential carbon and pollutant reductions by 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Wyoming, specifically focusing on pollution reduction and cost savings by 2030.

This document is a list of references and citations for a fact sheet produced by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute. It lists 15 sources including reports from the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and various environmental and policy organizations regarding clean energy jobs, infrastructure, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

This fact sheet reports that the U.S. had over 4 million climate jobs in 2024, with clean energy job growth outpacing overall U.S. job growth more than threefold. Energy efficiency is the largest sector, while solar and wind are the fastest-growing renewable sectors. The report also notes a rise in the adaptation and resilience industry and the impact of federal legislation on job creation.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute describes the role of lithium as a critical mineral for clean energy, its global supply chain, extraction and processing methods, and the environmental and social externalities associated with its production.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute explains how the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allows tax-exempt entities, such as nonprofits and local governments, to access clean energy tax credits through a "direct pay" (or "elective pay") mechanism.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) compiles statements from various global religious leaders, denominations, and interfaith organizations regarding anthropogenic climate change. The document highlights a broad consensus across major faiths that climate change is a moral, spiritual, and justice-related issue, emphasizing the disproportionate impact on poor populations and the necessity of transitioning away from fossil fuels.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute explains the role of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)—including black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—in global warming. It argues that while carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary driver of long-term climate change, reducing SLCPs can provide rapid, short-term benefits to slow the rate of warming and improve public health and food security.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines various feedstocks and production processes used to create hydrogen, ranging from fossil fuels and biomass to renewable energy sources and naturally occurring geological deposits.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute explains the technical terminology, drilling methods, and operational inputs associated with the extraction of oil and natural gas from shale formations, specifically focusing on hydraulic fracturing.

This briefing details the House Committee on Appropriations' reported Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill of 2008 (H.R. 2641), which proposes a significant funding increase for the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE/RE) programs compared to both the Administration's request and previous enacted levels.

This fact sheet details the distribution of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants for high-speed rail projects across four US regions: West, Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast, as well as additional planning awards.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute provides a glossary of technical terms related to hydrogen production, storage, and vehicle technology.

The 'Presenter’s Guide for the Idle Reduction and Clean School Bus Curriculum For Drivers and School Officials' is a training manual developed by the Utah Clean Cities Program, National Energy Foundation, and Environmental and Energy Study Institute. It provides a structured 45-minute workshop designed to educate school bus drivers and officials on the health risks of diesel exhaust and the economic and environmental benefits of reducing engine idling.

A letter from Texas Governor Greg Abbott to President Donald Trump expressing opposition to the licensing of consolidated interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste in Texas and New Mexico.

This document is a data table detailing the CO2 emissions standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles from 2014 to 2027, categorized by vehicle class, engine type, and configuration.

The Mississippi River Restoration & Resilience Initiative (MRRRI) is a proposed federal framework to restore the Mississippi River and protect the $500 billion economy and 20 million people who depend on it. The initiative seeks to address severe ecological decline, including a $6.2 billion flood impact from 2019 and an $82 million annual loss in the Gulf of Mexico due to nitrate-driven dead zones. Managed by the EPA, MRRRI would provide grants for restoration and resilience projects, prioritizing at-risk Indigenous, rural, and low-income communities.

This policy brief advocates for the development and deployment of technologies to track agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, identifying current barriers such as a lack of cost-effective sensors and coordination. It highlights the 'Ag N2O MMRV Roadmap' as a guide to bridging research gaps and suggests a coordinated strategy involving federal agencies (for research strategy) and state governments (for incubation and incentives) to support a new industry of N2O monitoring services.
