RMI Public Policy

We have solutions to address energy affordability in the US. Adjustments at all levels—from individuals improving their energy efficiency to system-level changes — can help unlock savings for Americans while maintaining reliability: ow.ly/v3S350XKiHc

The technologies and upgrades needed to modernize low- and medium-temperature range manufacturing operations have already proven viable. RMI analyzed how policymakers in Michigan and Illinois can help manufacturers transition to this next generation of equipment. ⬇️

Meeting rising energy demand is vital to maintaining resilient, competitive economies. Economic developers can help communities balance near- and long-term goals by aligning demand with regional capabilities to compete in the global marketplace. bit.ly/3KHBmEu

Across the U.S., clean energy is taking shape: solar on schools, EV chargers at stores, electric buses on our streets. RMI’s new ‘Voices of Clean Energy’ highlights the people making it possible — one project at a time. Learn more: bit.ly/474hTFv

New strategies are needed to overcome uncertainty. Economic developers can help communities balance near-term competitiveness with long-term resilience by aligning demand with regional capabilities to compete in the global marketplace. bit.ly/3KHBmEu

After an investment boom, the US advanced energy manufacturing sector has faced recent headwinds due to policy & trade uncertainty. OBBBA resolves some tax uncertainty while raising new questions for manufacturers. The challenges & opportunities ahead: bit.ly/4mpvwEY

As global demand surges for advanced energy solutions, the US has an opportunity to turn its unmatched innovation and capital markets into bankable projects that secure supply chains, expand exports, and create jobs at home. bit.ly/41Trmh6

There’s a backlog of clean energy projects in the US that could deliver major benefits — and they’re in need of financing + implementation partners. RMI’s Maintaining Momentum resources highlight projects and alternative funding strategies: bit.ly/4llqPeL

💵 Act now to claim thousands of dollars in clean energy incentives! Alliance governors & @ClimateMayors are joining together to encourage Americans to take advantage of cost-saving federal clean energy tax credits before they expire. Learn more ➡️ usclimatealliance.org/press-releases…

Cleantech is an economic opportunity. Following recent US federal policy shifts, states can still develop and deploy cleantech to save money, improve health, and position their businesses and residents to thrive. RMI shares six recommendations for states: bit.ly/40LcHEg

Addressing methane emissions is the fastest near-term way to slow global warming, protect public health, and keep our air and water clean. @ocwaste is leading the way to reduce methane leaks from their landfills: bit.ly/3EXcTbR

.@ocwaste uses real-time data assessment and cutting-edge tech, like robotic dogs and drones, to patrol landfills and map methane emissions. Proactively identifying methane leaks and implementing solutions slows global warming and protects public health. bit.ly/3EXcTbR

Tax-exempt orgs in RMI’s RISE cohort are using direct pay to make solar accessible and pass on savings to low and moderate-income households. Our new guide highlights their success and how to adapt solar models to various potential policy shifts. bit.ly/4lsuUOG

As energy costs continue to rise, millions of Americans are struggling to afford the energy necessary for basic household tasks. RMI’s new tool evaluates the policies state public utility commissions can implement to address energy poverty: bit.ly/4kFI22V

US state decision makers can use RMI’s Electricity Action Framework and Menu for States to create a tailored set of actions and pathways that promote a reliable, affordable, and clean electricity network for their constituents. bit.ly/3T95Yzu

RMI’s Green Upgrade Calculator helps home contractors, residential energy program implementers, and policy advisors more accurately estimate the cost, energy, and environmental benefits of clean residential technologies. Check out the latest version: bit.ly/43Lrtvk

As organic waste such as food scraps and yard clippings decomposes in landfills, it generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. One way to slash emissions is to divert organic waste from landfills with composting programs: bit.ly/3EXcTbR

@mollydfreed @CanaryMediaInc That's why that's why state-specific roadmaps were the first recommendation in @rockymtninst and @EvergreenAction's article on state industrial decarbonization - see the rest of them here: rmi.org/powering-progr… (2/2)

Reducing pollution from industry requires a tailored approach. "What works in a steel and cement state is not going to be effective somewhere that’s canning and bottling stuff.” - @mollydfreed in @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/clean… (1/2)
