Overview
The debate between fossil energy interests and advocates for a rapid transition to renewables is particularly intense in the Midwest, which has traditionally been dependent on coal for electricity generation. This grant would support the Natural Resource Defense Council’s work on renewable energy siting and deployment, Clean Air Act implementation that will result in coal-fired power plant retirements, and the careful use of natural gas as a bridge fuel from coal to renewables. The work would focus on Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio, with an additional effort to promote new utility-scale solar plants in the California Desert.

for China’s equitable low-carbon transition
To support NRDC in promoting a subnational clean energy transition in Jiangsu Province.
