Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Eesi was formed more than 30 years ago as an independent not-for-profit organization by a bipartisan group of members of congress, including founder and board member, former representative richard ottinger (d-ny), who identified a need for policymakers to have greater access to fact-based information on energy and environmental issues, and created eesi to fill it. Today, eesi continues to be a trusted source of non-partisan information and innovative, common-sense approaches to energy, climate, transportation, and related policies. As part of its work, eesi conducts congressional briefings, produces fact sheets, and publishes free weekly newsletters ("climate change news and "sustainable bioenergy, farms, and forest"). All of these resources are available via e-mail and on our website, www.eesi.org.

Be a trusted resource on energy and the environment for our elected officials and the public.

IN 2016,EESI ORGANIZED 13 CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS FOR MORE THAN 2,073 MEMBERS OF THE POLICY COMMUNITY. EESI'S BRIEFINGS ARE A CRITICAL RESOURCE TO INFORM AND EDUCATE CONGRESS, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, AND OTHER POLICYMAKERS ABOUT THE LATEST SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND POLICY DEVELOPMENTS IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT. ALL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES ARE INVITED TO OUR BRIEFINGS; STAFF FROM 137 DISCRETE CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES-FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE-ATTENDED THEM. OUR PUBLIC BRIEFINGS ARE LIVECAST AND RECORDED FOR ONLINE DISTRIBUTION, WHICH FURTHER EXTENDS THEIR REACH AND IMPACT (OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS 273,817 VIEWS). IN ADDITION, MORE THAN 956 INDIVIDUALS FROM GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, MEDIA OUTLETS AND THE GREATER POLICY COMMUNITY PARTICIPATED IN OUR DAYLONG BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY EXPO AND POLICY FORUM, FEATURING TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITORS.

IN 2016, EESI CALLED ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF HISTORICALLY COAL-DEPENDENT COMMUNITIES, SHOWCASED WAYS FORWARD IN A NEW, SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ECONOMY, AND MUSTERED FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR THEM, INCLUDING THE RECLAIM ACT INTRODUCED IN 2016. EESI HAS JOINED A COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS WITH A SHARED FOCUS ON TRANSITIONING HISTORICALLY COAL-CENTRIC APPALACHIAN COMMUNITIES TOWARD CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMIES AND REHABILITATING THE LANDSCAPE AFTER DECADES OF LARGE-SCALE MINING ACTIVITIES. THE COALITION'S EFFORTS, WITH EESI'S STRONG PARTICIPATION, HAVE COALESCED AROUND HELPING THESE COMMUNITIES TRANSITION, INCLUDING THROUGH FEDERAL ENGAGEMENT ON THE RECLAIM ACT, WHOSE LEAD SPONSOR IS REP. HAL ROGERS (R-KY). THE ACT, WHICH HAS 22 BIPARTISAN CO-SPONSORS, WOULD REDIRECT $1 BILLION IN TRUST FUNDS TO RESTORE LAND AND WATER RESOURCES AFFECTED BY COAL MINING, THEREBY REHABILITATING THE ENVIRONMENT WHILE CREATING GOOD JOBS IN SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED REGIONS. AS PART OF THIS OVERALL EFFORT, EESI CO-HOSTED A SCREENING OF THE DOCUMENTARY AFTER COAL. THE SCREENING WAS FOLLOWED BY A PANEL DISCUSSION ON REVITALIZING COAL COMMUNITIES.ADDITIONALLY, EESI IS WORKING WITH ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES AND PUBLIC UTILITIES TO HELP FAMILIES REDUCE THEIR ENERGY USAGE WITH "ON-BILL FINANCING": HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVE LOANS TO PAY FOR HOME ENERGY UPGRADES, WHICH ARE REPAID THROUGH A MONTHLY CHARGE ON THEIR UTILITY BILL.

IRS990/MissionDesc0EESI WAS FOUNDED MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO BY A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS INCLUDING CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS CLAUDINE SCHNEIDER AND RICHARD OTTINGER, WHO IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR POLICYMAKERS TO HAVE MORE ACCESS TO FACT-BASED INFORMATION ON ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, AND CREATED EESI TO FILL IT. TODAY, EESI CONTINUES TO BE A TRUSTED SOURCE OF NON-PARTISAN INFORMATION AND INNOVATIVE POLICY APPROACHES TO ENERGY, CLIMATE, TRANSPORTATION, AND RELATED POLICIES. EESI CONDUCTS CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS (WHICH ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET), PRODUCES FACT SHEETS, AND PUBLISHES FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS ("CLIMATE CHANGE NEWS AND "SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY, FARMS, AND FOREST"). ALL OF THESE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE VIA E-MAIL AND ON OUR WEBSITE, WWW.EESI.ORG.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS PROGRAM:THE GOAL OF THE HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS (HPGB) PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE POLICIES THAT DRAMATICALLY REDUCE BUILDING ENERGY USE; BUILDINGS USE MORE THAN 40 PERCENT OF THE NATION'S ENERGY. INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND LOWER ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND BILLS. INDEED, BEYOND CLIMATE MITIGATION, HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS CAN PROVIDE IMPROVED AFFORDABILITY, HEALTH, SAFETY, AND RESALE VALUE.EESI HELD TWO CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS ON THE MANY BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS: "SUSTAINABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING: SAVING ENERGY, SAVING LIVES AND "SOLAR POWER AND RESILIENT DESIGN FOR SCHOOLS AND SHELTERS." THE FIRST BRIEFING EXAMINED ENERGY-EFFICIENT, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOW IT IS IMPROVING HEALTH AND SAFETY IN DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES WHILE PROVIDING ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS TO STATES. THE SECOND BRIEFING SHOWCASED HOW SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC BUILDINGS CAN COLLECTIVELY REDUCE EMISSIONS AND CLEAR THE AIR, ESPECIALLY IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES WHERE ENERGY UTILITIES ARE OFTEN SITED. FEATURED WERE A RETROFIT PROJECT IN THE RED HOOK NEIGHBORHOOD OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, AN AWARD-WINNING NET-ZERO ENERGY HIGH SCHOOL IN RURAL KENTUCKY, AND PROJECTS INCORPORATING SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND.EESI CONTINUED TO BUILD ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PASSIVE HOUSE INSTITUTE US (PHIUS), WHICH DEVELOPS AND PROMOTES PASSIVE BUILDING STANDARDS AND PRACTICES IN NORTH AMERICA. ULTRA-EFFICIENT PASSIVE BUILDINGS CONSUME 60-85 PERCENT LESS ENERGY THAN CONVENTIONAL BUILDINGS, AND ARE ALSO MORE DURABLE, HEALTHY, COMFORTABLE, AND RESILIENT. EESI'S POLICY DIRECTOR PARTICIPATED IN THE 11TH ANNUAL NORTH AMERICAN PASSIVE HOUSE CONFERENCE IN PHILADELPHIA, WHERE SHE DISCUSSED HIGH-PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS POWERED BY A RENEWABLE ENERGY, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE FEDERAL POLICY LANDSCAPE. IN ATTENDANCE WERE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, SUSTAINABLE ENERGY POLICY ADVOCATES, AS WELL AS ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, AND CONTRACTORS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS AND ENERGY PROGRAM: THE SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS AND ENERGY (SBE) PROGRAM SEEKS TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY (BIOFUELS AND BIOMASS) AS ONE COMPONENT OF OUR COUNTRY'S CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION STRATEGY, AND AS A WAY TO REDUCE ITS DEPENDENCE ON OIL. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROMOTES SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR FARMS AND FORESTS. IN ADDITION TO BRIEFINGS AND FACTSHEETS, EESI PUBLISHES A WEEKLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER, "SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY, FARMS, AND FORESTS," REACHING MORE THAN 2,700 SUBSCRIBERS WITH CUTTING-EDGE ISSUES.EESI DREW ATTENTION TO THE POTENTIAL OF BIOENERGY AND BIO-BASED PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH CAN PROVIDE A RENEWABLE, CLEANER ALTERNATIVE TO PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS. OIL CROPS, PURPOSE-GROWN ENERGY CROPS AND ALGAE, AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY RESIDUES, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER WASTES CAN BE USED AS FUELS, CHEMICALS AND BIO-PRODUCTS, THEREBY REDUCING U.S. DEPENDENCE ON PETROLEUM, LOWERING U.S. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, AND CREATING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND JOBS IN RURAL AREAS. EESI HELD A BRIEFING LOOKING AT THE ABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES TO SUSTAINABLY PRODUCE 1 BILLION TONS OF RENEWABLE NON-FOOD BIOMASS EVERY YEAR, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY DISPLACE MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THE COUNTRY'S PETROLEUM CONSUMPTION. THE WELL-ATTENDED BRIEFING, WHICH WAS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S BILLION-TON REPORT, ATTRACTED ATTENDEES FROM 40 CONGRESSIONAL OFFICESEESI SET THE STAGE FOR ACTION ON TOXIC GASOLINE AROMATICS, WHICH HAVE BEEN LINKED TO A WIDE RANGE OF ADVERSE HEALTH IMPACTS. EESI'S 2016 FACT SHEET, "A BRIEF HISTORY OF OCTANE IN GASOLINE: FROM LEAD TO ETHANOL," CALLED ATTENTION TO THE DANGERS OF GASOLINE AROMATICS. HEALTH STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT AROMATICS, WHICH ARE ADDED TO GASOLINE TO INCREASE OCTANE LEVELS, MAY CONTRIBUTE TO NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENTAL, REPRODUCTIVE AND IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSES, AS WELL AS ADVERSE CARDIO-PULMONARY EFFECTS. EESI ALSO PROVIDED INFORMATION FOR AMBITIOUS FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS FOR CARS, WHICH CAN BE MET WITH SMALLER ENGINES USING BIOFUELS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REVIEWED ITS CORPORATE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY (CAFE) STANDARDS IN 2016. RATHER THAN RELAX THE FUEL ECONOMY STANDARD, EESI HIGHLIGHTED THE CASE FOR TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTION OF HIGH-OCTANE, LOW-CARBON BIOFUELS. RENEWABLE BIOFUELS HAVE A PARTICULARLY HIGH OCTANE RATING, AND USING HIGHER OCTANE FUELS ENABLES AUTOMAKERS TO USE SMALLER, MORE EFFICIENT ENGINES. BIOFUELS ALSO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS AND CAN BE PRODUCED DOMESTICALLY, THEREBY CREATING NEW ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND JOBS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM:THE GOAL OF THE TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES (TSC) PROGRAM IS TWO-FOLD: TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION POLICIES (CLEANER VEHICLES AND FUELS, MOBILITY SOLUTIONS INCLUDING PUBLIC TRANSIT, BIKING, WALKING), AND TO HELP COMMUNITIES MAKE GREATER USE OF LOCAL RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AND DESIGNS.EESI CALLED FOR AMBITIOUS RAIL INVESTMENTS IN THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR. THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION (FRA) IS CONSIDERING DIFFERENT INVESTMENT SCENARIOS FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR, THE BUSIEST PASSENGER RAIL LINE IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH RUNS FROM BOSTON TO WASHINGTON, D.C. EESI PARTICIPATED IN A PUBLIC HEARING (OUR STAFFER WAS QUOTED BY THE WASHINGTON POST) AND SUBMITTED WRITTEN COMMENTS REGARDING A HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT CONSIDERS THE ENTIRE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, NOT JUST RAIL. UNDERINVESTING IN RAIL WILL MEAN SPENDING MORE ON ROAD AND AIR NETWORKS, OBVIATING ANY SAVINGS. EESI HAS ALSO RESEARCHED AN AMBITIOUS HIGH-SPEED RAIL INVESTMENT PROGRAM, TO ALLOW PASSENGER AND FREIGHT RAIL TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. RAIL CAN BE A PARTICULARLY COST-EFFECTIVE, ACCESSIBLE, AND LOW-EMISSION FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION (APTA), EESI EXAMINED HOW RIDE-SHARING CAN STRENGTHEN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. ACCORDING TO AN APTA REPORT, AND CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS, RIDE-SHARING PLATFORMS LIKE LYFT AND UBER DO NOT REDUCE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION RIDERSHIP. INSTEAD, THE TWO COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, WITH RIDE-SHARING MAKING IT EASIER TO REACH MASS TRANSIT STATIONS. MUNICIPALITIES ARE FINDING IT CAN BE CHEAPER AND MORE EFFECTIVE TO SUBSIDIZE THEIR RESIDENTS' RIDE-SHARING, SO THEY CAN EASILY ACCESS EXISTING STATIONS RATHER THAN SETTING UP NEW BUS ROUTES.
