Welcome!

The Sustainable Energy Initiative (“SEI”) at The George Washington University Law School is a thought-leadership platform for the consideration and development of energy policy.  SEI’s mission is to advance the development of legal structures that govern our increasingly diverse and complex energy systems with the goal of promoting equitable economic growth, protecting public health and the environment and assuring access to affordable, reliable, clean and sustainable energy resources by:

• providing a forum for open debate on leading-edge energy policy issues;
• conducting research that significantly advances the knowledge base related to sustainable energy law and policy; and
• educating students, policy makers and industry participants on issues related to sustainable energy production, delivery and use based on fact and non-partisan analysis.

SEI was founded in 2013. The Initiative is led by Donna Attanasio, Senior Advisor for Energy Law Programs with the support and assistance of Lee Paddock, Associate Dean for Environmental Studies, and Achinthi Vithanage, Visiting Associate Professor and Environmental and Energy Law Fellow. 

Through this blog we will make available announcements of upcoming events, SEI news, and articles, papers, and occasional random thoughts on areas of interest that are more informal than journal-quality work we may publish elsewhere.
