featuring opening remarks by EPA Principal
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation, Joseph
Goffman, followed by a panel of energy sector modelers from
RFF, EPRI, EPA, and
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Panelists will present recent
findings on how the electricity sector is expected to transform in the
coming decades as a result of the IRA,
illuminating a new baseline for the sector.
The Energy Storage Policy
Forum convenes a
curated list of industry leaders to discuss the most important issues
affecting energy storage markets today. Energy storage is integral to
electrical supply, transmission, and distribution systems. The topic is
gaining attention as stakeholders recognize the revolution storage
solutions can bring to the clean energy industry.
Join us in
February as we unite state and federal regulators, policymakers, storage
industry members, utility decision makers, and power sector stakeholders
in the most critical energy storage discussions.

We need to decarbonize the US transportation sector — one of the top
contributors to our country’s GHG emissions.
Decisions made now will affect the speed of decarbonization and the
mobility of millions — and decarbonization will transform global supply
chains, with implications for climate, environmental, and Indigenous
justice beyond US borders. Join us for a discussion with Dr. Thea
Riofrancos, lead author of Climate and Community Project’s latest
report Achieving Zero Emissions with More
Mobility
with Less Mining, to consider the future of the transportation system,
futures of lithium mining, and how we make it just and equitable for
all.
Ready to make a difference in climate policy? But not sure where to
start? We have you covered. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute
(EESI) invites you to join us for our start-of-the-new Congress briefing
series, Climate Camp . We will go over the basics of the legislative
process, highlighting key areas and opportunities for climate mitigation
and adaptation policy.
Our second session in
EESI’s Congressional Climate Camp series will
explore the public’s interest in seeing continued federal attention on
climate change. Forty-six percent of people in the United States say
they have personally experienced the impacts of climate change and 55
percent of people say that climate change should be a high or very high
priority for Congress and the administration, according to the Yale
Program on Climate Change Communication. Panelists will explore the
latest analyses of public opinion on climate change across sectors and
geography and explain why it matters for the 118th Congress.
The business
meeting
will be held on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 10:00 am, immediately
preceding the previously scheduled
hearing in Room
366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
The purpose of the business meeting is to consider the following:
Agenda Item 1: An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the
Committee for the 118th Congress.
Agenda Item 2: Committee rule change for the 118th Congress.
