Note
Targeted, well-designed, ambitious policies enacted by states can leverage the immense changes and investment opportunities on the horizon to drive deployment of geothermal on the grid.
Report
Recent electricity price increases in the US are driven by multiple, intersecting factors that vary substantially regionally and by individual utility.
Note
As the pace of data center buildout in the US rapidly evolves, we examine the energy and emissions impacts of a future where data center electricity demand grows at a faster rate than we've previously considered.
