Policy Integrity has consistently supported the use of the
Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) to monetize and weigh the impacts of
carbon pollution. The institute frequently collaborates with
non-governmental organizations to advocate for the proper application of SCC metrics in federal agency regulatory impact analyses and environmental reviews, as well as in relevant and state policymaking processes. Policy Integrity regularly engages in research and advocacy on electricity policy. The institute has published reports on issues related to
transmission, grid resilience, and the deployment and compensation of
distributed energy resources. It has also engaged in state energy policy proceedings around the country and advocated before the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the
Department of Energy. Policy Integrity has been involved in efforts to reform federal
natural resource leasing programs. It frequently participates in
Department of the Interior regulatory proceedings, pushing for proper consideration of climate impacts and alternate use options for
public lands, such as recreation, conservation, and
renewable energy production. In 2018, Policy Integrity launched a resource tracking the outcomes of legal challenges to
Trump administration policy changes.
The New York Times,
The Washington Post,
The Wall Street Journal, and several other publications have regularly cited the resource. Policy Integrity has also produced extensive research and advocacy related to
federal vehicle emissions standards, deregulation during the
