Policy Analysis

The Lab's Policy Analysis evaluates policies that can advance — or provide alternatives to — renewable energy technologies in meeting national goals.

Scenarios for a Clean Energy Future

Featuring SEAC's Walter Short as a co-author, Scenarios for a Clean Energy Future assesses technologies and policies to meet energy-related challenges facing the United States. It concludes that successful implementation of these technologies and polices could reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, oil dependence and economic inefficiencies. The report also concludes that the overall economic benefits of the policies and technologies that are molded are comparable to their overall cost. The benefits derive from energy savings throughout the economy. (PDF 6.63 MB) Download Adobe Reader
