Energy and Policy Institute
U.S. left, pro-clean energy
The Energy and Policy Institute is a U.S. left-leaning advocacy watchdog that focuses on exposing the political spending of fossil fuel companies and electric utility monopolies. It supports clean energy policy and opposes what it sees as industry-driven obstruction of the clean energy transition. Its coverage is broadly critical of the Trump administration, which has promoted fossil fuel expansion, ended most Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credits, and rolled back environmental regulations.
