Mariah, Ruby, and Eileen presented the findings from the Community-Defined Decarbonization report at a Shift Zero Lunch n Learn webinar.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the CHIPS and Science Act are massive federal expenditures designed to combat climate change, spur a clean energy industrial revolution in the U.S., and create economic opportunity for millions of Americans.

Eileen was invited to speak to Microsoft employees about the Clean Energy Transition Institute’s mission and programs as part of the company’s October fundraising drive.

On October 19, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded $2.8 billion to 20 recipients, two of which are located in Washington, to boost domestic production of batteries and critical minerals used in electric vehicles.

President Biden signed the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law on August 16, 2022. Here is a roundup of our favorite resources that have helped us understand the IRA’s role in accelerating the clean energy transition.

Eileen presented at the Sustainable Northwest’s 2022 Making Energy Work Symposium meeting on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provisions.

Mariah Caballero presented the findings from the Community-Defined Decarbonization report on a panel at the 2022 Washington Solar Summit focused on Tribal energy resilience and climate action.

Harvesting the Sun tells the stories of three Washington state businesses in Jefferson and Clallam counties that have benefited from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Rural Energy for America (REAP) program.

Eileen joined Oregon Environmental Council's Nora Apter at the Renewable Northwest Annual Member meeting to discuss how IRA provisions could apply the Washington 2021 State Energy Strategy and how CETI is modeling IRA incentives in the Net-Zero Northwest study.

This project aimed to: (1) understand the barriers to decarbonizing buildings for the state’s rural and Tribal low-income, energy-burdened households, and (2) determine whether decarbonization strategies and clean energy development could address energy inequities in these communities.

On September 8, 2022, the Clean Energy Transition Institute released Community-Defined Decarbonization: Reflecting Rural and Tribal Desires for an Equitable Clean Energy Transition in Washington.

With President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on August 16, we commence a new chapter that will hopefully begin to bend carbon emissions curves downward in the United States and avert a complete climate crisis.
