Webinar: The True Value of Solar
For the release of The True Value of Solar, co-authors Gideon Weissman and Emma Searson were joined by Karl R. Rábago, Executive Director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center, to discuss the report and its significance to ongoing policy debates. The new report makes the case that policymakers should account for all of solar energy's benefits - including benefits to the environment and public health - when making energy policy.
Charting the Dramatic Rise of Clean Energy
A dramatic change that was just beginning a decade ago is still picking up steam. It’s a change that is making the world cleaner, safer, and healthier. And it is a change to one of the most critical systems underlying modern life – our energy system.

Monsanto’s Influence on the Glyphosate Debate
November 7 is election day in the U.S this year. On November 6, the European Union is holding a vote of their own. That’s the deadline for representatives from their 28 member countries to decide whether to ban or reauthorize the herbicide glyphosate. Theoretically, this means that 28 voices – one for each country – will be making a decision that impacts the 510 million people living in the EU. In reality, a 29th party has inserted itself into this decision. Monsanto, the global corporation that first patented glyphosate and would have the most to lose if it were banned, has been writing and funding the very research that is supposed to guide the EU in its decision.
Shining Cities 2017: Driving the Growth of Solar Energy from the Local Level
Solar energy is booming across America. Our new report, Shining Cities 2017, is the fourth edition in our series ranking U.S. cities by installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. On average, the cities in this report have nearly tripled their solar energy capacity just since 2014 when we began collecting data for this series.
