Note
Using our newly developed Federal Investments in Energy Innovation database, we can, for the first time, observe what US public funding for research, development, demonstration, and deployment looks like by technology and stage.
Note
We estimate how much energy costs could rise for households and industry if Congress chooses to roll back and repeal key pollution regulations and energy tax credits.
Note
Next-generation geothermal energy has a number of advantages in meeting growing electricity demand from data centers. We estimate how much of this demand could potentially be served by geothermal over the next decade.
Note
One key driver of sustained industrial emissions is the growth of emissions associated with petrochemical manufacturing in the US, which we estimate could rise by 6-32% by 2030 over today's levels.
