The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (REEE) Caucuses held a Virtual Congressional Clean Energy Expo on Monday, July 26, 2021. Building on the more than 20 years of experience hosting clean energy leaders from various sectors, we once again showcased technology and policy solutions to today’s climate and energy use challenges.
Presenting before Congress and the public, top-level speakers shared findings and innovations on the impacts they are having to mitigate climate change, improve the economy, build resilience, and protect our security interests.
This year’s half-day conference featured four sessions, including a panel featuring the Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus Co-Chairs, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.).
Senate REEE Caucus Deputy Co-Chairs Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and House REEE Co-Chair Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wisc.) also provided remarks.
