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.

IRS990/Desc0ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAM:THE ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE (ECC) PROGRAM ADVANCES ALL FORMS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (E.G., SOLAR, WIND, GEOTHERMAL, BIOMASS, WATER) TO MOVE OUR COUNTRY TOWARD A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY. EESI'S FLAGSHIP NEWSLETTER, "CLIMATE CHANGE NEWS," REACHES MORE THAN 5,500 SUBSCRIBERS IN THE POLICY COMMUNITY EVERY WEEK. IN 2017, EESI ORGANIZED 14 CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS FOR MORE THAN 2,587 DISCRETE MEMBERS OF THE POLICY COMMUNITY. EESI'S BRIEFINGS ARE A CRITICAL RESOURCE TO INFORM AND EDUCATE CONGRESS, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, AND POLICYMAKERS, MEDIA, AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE LATEST SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND POLICY DEVELOPMENTS IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT. ALL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES ARE INVITED TO OUR BRIEFINGS; STAFF FROM 181 DISCRETE CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES-FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE-ATTENDED THEM IN 2017. OUR PUBLIC BRIEFINGS ARE LIVECAST AND RECORDED FOR ONLINE DISTRIBUTION, WHICH FURTHER EXTENDS THEIR REACH AND IMPACT (OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS MORE THAN 292,000 VIEWS). IN ADDITION, MORE THAN 755 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 MORE THAN 40 TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITORS. EESI HAS ISSUE EXPERTS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK AND ADVISE ON SUSTAINABLE POLICY OPTIONS IN THE CLIMATE, ENERGY, AGRICULTURE, BUILDINGS, HEALTH, AND TRANSPORTATION SECTORS, AND OUR STAFFERS ARE OFTEN CALLED UPON BY THE MEDIA FOR INSIGHTS, QUOTES, AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION, AS WELL AS TO SPEAK AT A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES. EESI STAFFERS REGULARLY PEN ARTICLES AND OP-EDS FOR PUBLICATIONS, FURTHER EXTENDING THE REACH OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY MESSAGE. IN 2017, EESI EMPHASIZED THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. RISING SEA LEVELS AND THE INCREASED PREVALENCE OF EXTREME WEATHER, CAUSED IN PART BY CLIMATE CHANGE, ARE ALREADY AFFECTING AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY. EESI CALLED ATTENTION TO THESE THREATS WITH A JUNE BRIEFING AND AN ACCOMPANYING ISSUE BRIEF, "THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE." AT OUR BRIEFING, RETIRED GENERALS, ADMIRALS AND OTHER TOP-LEVEL MILITARY OFFICIALS DISCUSSED THE NEED TO DEVOTE MORE RESOURCES TO DISASTER ASSISTANCE, TO SECURING THE ARCTIC AS IT BECOMES NAVIGABLE, AND TO COPING WITH THE DISPLACEMENT OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. IT WAS OUR BEST ATTENDED BRIEFING OF THE YEAR, WITH MORE THAN 300 IN-PERSON AND ONLINE ATTENDEES, AND LIVE C-SPAN COVERAGE. OUR EFFORTS LIKELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE ENACTMENT OF A CLIMATE PROVISION IN THE NOVEMBER 2017 NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT, AN ANNUAL AUTHORIZATION BILL THAT SETS DEFENSE FUNDING LEVELS AND POLICIES. THE PROVISION MAKES IT CLEAR THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A "DIRECT THREAT" TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND DIRECTS THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT TO PREPARE FOR ITS IMPACTS ON VULNERABLE BASES. THE PROVISION LED STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. EESI'S APRIL 2017 BUDGET ANALYSIS SHOWED THE ADVERSE IMPACT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S 2018 BUDGET PROPOSAL WOULD HAVE ON RENEWABLE ENERGY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND CLIMATE ACTION IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS FACTUAL ANALYSIS SHORED UP SUPPORT FOR ENDANGERED PROGRAMS RELATED TO CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE. THROUGH ITS PUBLICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH HILL STAFF, WE WERE ABLE TO SHOWCASE THE BENEFITS THESE PROGRAMS BRING TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY (AND THE WORLD.) AS PART OF ITS ON-BILL FINANCING PROJECT, EESI CONTINUES TO DEVELOP CLEAN ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND ALSO ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL COOPERATIVE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION CLUSA INTERNATIONAL. "ON-BILL FINANCING" GIVES ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE MEMBERS AND OTHER UTILITY CUSTOMERS THE ABILITY TO FINANCE ENERGY IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE THEN REPAID OVER TIME ON THEIR ENERGY BILLS. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE ENERGY COSTS, IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND COMFORT, AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY IN RURAL HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHILE ALSO REDUCING FOSSIL FUEL U

IRS990/MissionDesc0EESI 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.

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 SINCE 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.FEDERAL EFFICIENCY STANDARDS REDUCED OUR NATIONAL ENERGY COSTS BY ABOUT $80 BILLION IN 2015, EQUIVALENT TO THE ELECTRICITY NEEDS OF NEARLY A THIRD OF U.S. HOUSEHOLDS. OUR IN-DEPTH FACT SHEET, ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR APPLIANCES, LIGHTING AND EQUIPMENT, DISCUSSED THE REGULATORY STANDARDS CURRENTLY IN PLACE, AND SHOWED THEIR VALUE. THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR POLICYMAKERS, AS THE ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED DRASTIC CUTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS IN 2017 AND DID SO AGAIN IN 2018.EESI HIGHLIGHTED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS AND THE POTENTIAL OF PASSIVE HOUSE BUILDING TECHNIQUES BY CO-HOSTING A "PASSIVE HOUSE/PATH TO ZERO" WORKSHOP WITH THE GREEN HOME CHOICE PROGRAM OF ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS (AIA). PASSIVE BUILDINGS USE INSULATION, AIRTIGHTNESS, AND WINDOW PLACEMENT TO REDUCE ENERGY NEEDS BY 60 TO 85 PERCENT. NEARLY 100 LOCAL BUILDING PROFESSIONALS PARTICIPATED IN THE WORKSHOP. MANY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN LEARNING MORE AND TAKING ON THEIR OWN PASSIVE BUILDING PROJECTS AS A RESULT OF WHAT THEY LEARNED.

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 AND MOVING AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO A MORE BIO-BASED ECONOMY. IN ADDITION TO BRIEFINGS AND FACTSHEETS, EESI PUBLISHES A WEEKLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER, "SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY, FARMS, AND FORESTS," REACHING MORE THAN 2,900 SUBSCRIBERS WITH CUTTING-EDGE ISSUES.THE FARM BILL FUNDS CRITICAL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS, PROVIDES FINANCING FOR RURAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES, AND ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK FOR THE RENEWABLE BIOENERGY AND BIOBASED PRODUCT INDUSTRY-AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF REVENUE AND JOBS FOR AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES. THEREFORE, EESI DEVELOPED BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS OF EXISTING FARM BILL PROGRAMS FOR CONGRESSIONAL STAFF, AS WELL AS AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. WE HAVE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON THE BILL'S ENERGY AND CONSERVATION TITLES (EESI PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FARM BILL'S FIRST ENERGY TITLE BACK IN 2002). EESI PUBLISHED A BACKGROUNDER ON THE FARM BILL'S CONSERVATION PROGRAMS, CONSERVATION MEASURES IN THE FARM BILL; SHARED INFORMATION ON THE ENERGY TITLE'S FUNDING LEVELS AND APPROPRIATIONS WITH POLICYMAKERS; AND MET WITH MANY OTHER CONCERNED GROUPS, INCLUDING THE AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENT ECONOMY, THE AMERICAN BIOGAS COALITION, AND THE NATIONAL FARMERS UNION.

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.THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS NOW THE LARGEST SOURCE OF CARBON EMISSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, HAVING OVERTAKEN THE POWER SECTOR, WHICH IS BECOMING CLEANER AS COAL PLANTS ARE RETIRED. MAKING OUR VEHICLES CLEANER IS MORE URGENT THAN EVER. ONE COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO CUT VEHICLE EMISSIONS RAPIDLY WOULD BE THE WIDESPREAD USE OF HIGH-OCTANE SUSTAINABLE BIOFUELS. EESI HELD A CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING (CAN FUEL EFFICIENCY STANDARDS BE MET COST-EFFECTIVELY?) EXAMINING HOW HIGH-OCTANE, LOW-CARBON BIOFUELS CAN MAKE IT EASIER TO MEET NATIONAL FUEL-EFFICIENCY STANDARDS WHILE ELECTRIFICATION OF THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS UNDERWAY. INDEED, RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT HIGH-OCTANE, LOW-CARBON BIOFUEL IS THE LOWEST-COST COMPLIANCE OPTION FOR BOTH CONSUMERS AND THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. HIGH-OCTANE FUELS MAKE MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT ENGINES POSSIBLE, WHICH, IN TURN, REDUCES EMISSIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND THE TOXIC AROMATIC PETROCHEMICALS CURRENTLY USED TO PROVIDE OCTANE. IN OCTOBER, EESI SUBMITTED COMMENTS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON THE ROLE OF CLEAN OCTANE IN MEETING VEHICLE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS-AND IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH.THE ELECTRIFICATION OF THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS GATHERING STEAM-AND WILL HAVE EVER-GREATER BENEFITS AS THE GRID CONTINUES TO BECOME LESS CARBON INTENSIVE. IN AUGUST 2017, EESI PUBLISHED A FACT SHEET ON PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AN IN-DEPTH UPDATE OF OUR 2012 PUBLICATION ON THE SAME TOPIC. TWO TYPES OF VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES, ALL-ELECTRIC AND PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC, WERE COVERED, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE MODELS AVAILABLE TO U.S. CONSUMERS TODAY.
