When building energy infrastructure for the future it is interesting to think about designing these systems for about 1/3 of the energy we produce now. Why, you ask?

Today Acadia Center released our latest report on the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, commonly referred to as RGGI, and it has already drawn praise!

We are so incredibly grateful for the feedback we have reviewed from our partners, communities, and policy experts.

This report took an enormous amount of effort from our entire staff, and we are honored to have the support of so many people invested in addressing environmental justice, clean energy, and climate change.

We invite our community to read the report and and our blog, and keep an eye out for upcoming webinars on the topic!
