2 Founded in 1984 by a bipartisan Congressional caucus. Now an independent, bipartisan nonprofit with no Congressional funding. We provide fact-based information on energy and environmental policy for Congress and other policymakers. We focus on win-win solutions to make our energy, buildings, and transportation sectors sustainable.
