Testimonials

Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.)
	"Our efforts in Congress are aided by the great work of groups like the Environmental and Energy Study Institute and I'm thankful to have partners like you to help inform good energy policy."

Claudine Schneider, former Member of Congress (R-R.I.)
	"There could not be a more critical role for a non-partisan, public interest, non-profit than to advise and educate Congress on energy and environmental issues. It’s what EESI does well—and it’s essential that they continue to do so."

Dr. John Holdren, President Obama's Science Advisor
	"I think EESI has been an enormously positive influence on understanding in the Congress and in the public of the nature of the climate change challenge."

Anne Saliers, formerly with the Holland Board of Public Works
	"It was like a gift just falling in my lap that [EESI] was looking for municipal utilities and rural co-ops to help them develop on-bill loan programs."
