Building energy codes can significantly reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector by making new buildings more efficient. The Alliance to Save Energy advocates for legislation to set national energy savings targets for building codes. Their proposal would direct states to adopt updated national model building codes or equivalent standards to meet targets, and provide federal support and enforcement to improve state and local compliance. If states and localities fail to meet targets, the federal government would enforce code requirements directly. The proposal aims to fully utilize building energy codes as a cost-effective strategy to address national energy and climate change needs.

India urban and industrial waste to energy market

North Carolina’s REPS and Clean Energy Economy

Ngy Ea

The document discusses how energy policy impacts jobs in the United States. It notes that the energy sector supports millions of jobs directly and in other sectors that rely on affordable and reliable energy. Changes to federal energy policy, such as increasing access to domestic oil and gas reserves or expanding wind and ethanol production, could create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. However, policies like maintaining offshore drilling bans or enacting climate change bills could eliminate millions of jobs. The document argues that federal policymakers set their agendas based on input from voters, local officials, and stakeholders, so groups like Ports-to-Plains need to provide input to policymakers to influence energy policies that impact regional jobs and communities.

Ibj indiana resists call for renewable energy mandates 11-28-10

ReBloom UpTown

Indiana is one of only 14 states that has resisted establishing renewable energy standards. This leaves the state at a disadvantage for attracting new green businesses according to critics. While Indiana has attracted some wind projects, advocates argue these have been driven by renewable standards in other states and only account for a small portion of the state's energy needs. Supporters argue standards would boost jobs and investment, but Indiana lawmakers have failed to pass such legislation due to concerns over rate increases and a desire to include nuclear in definitions of renewable energy. Other Midwest states like Michigan and Illinois have seen billions in green investment after implementing renewable standards.

Taking Action on Climate Through Pricing Carbon

American Sustainable Business Council

This document discusses the business case for implementing a carbon price. It summarizes that unchecked climate change poses a massive threat to the global economy, with potential GDP losses of over 20% by 2100. It also notes that many large businesses are already taking climate action and implementing internal carbon pricing. The benefits of an economy-wide carbon price are outlined as reducing emissions to levels beyond the US Paris Agreement targets, promoting fair competition by accounting for the costs of fossil fuels, spurring innovation and job growth in clean energy sectors. Examples of successful carbon pricing programs in other jurisdictions like RGGI, California, and British Columbia are provided.
