Northeast Region Innovating to Accelerate Energy Efficiency in 2013
The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are seeing unprecedented savings in electricity and natural gas use, thanks to a combined commitment to invest over $2.5 billion dollars in energy efficiency through 2013, according to NEEP’s second annual Regional Roundup of Energy Efficiency Policy. The report examines overall policy trends...[read more]
Imagine What A Real Cap Could Do
RGGI (pronounced “Reggie”), the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, has capped carbon dioxide emissions in ten northeastern U.S. states. Well, it isn’t much of a cap, given how loose it really is. Still, the latest analysis that tries to follow the money points to $1.6 billion in economic benefits for the economies in these ten states....[read more]
Northeast Clean Fuels Standard = Thousands of Jobs, Billions of Dollars
An economic analysis done for 11 northeast and mid-Atlantic states shows that a clean fuels standard (CFS) is a winning idea for the region. It could save consumers in the region billions, bring in billions more in revenue for these states, and create up to 50,000 jobs per year – dramatically increasing the region's self-...[read more]
Governors 2010: Climate change deniers threaten the Northeast RGGI climate compact
The northeastern United States remains a bastion of the clean energy economy, though global warming deniers are vying to take over leadership of the state governments. Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson has the story. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is the carbon trading program of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine,...[read more]

“Negative pricing if it was wide spread it would be quickly fixed by the utilities who would simply choose to dunp excess electricity via perhaps joule heating rather than sell it at a loss.”
“These artificial leaf researchers get lots of headlines, but could they really be cost competive with normal solar panels connected to normal electrolysis units? Interconnecting a large area with plumbing for water and hydrogen will like cost more than interconnect with electrical wire. Then there is the giant lead in efficiency that normal PV solar cells have over these new PEC ...”
