Legislation and regulatory research
Research the substance and implementation status of energy legislation, FERC orders, and state regulatory proceedings. Get a comprehensive synthesis from multiple sources in minutes instead of days of manual review.
Summarize the current status of state renewable portfolio standards — which states have 100% clean energy goals and what deadlines have they set?
As of 2025: 20 states plus DC have 100% clean energy or carbon-free electricity goals. Hawaii (2045), California (2045), and New York (2040) are on legally binding tracks. Most Midwestern states lag with 30-50% RPS targets. Vermont, Maine, and New Mexico recently strengthened targets. Full breakdown of each state's target, timeline, and compliance mechanism included.

Academic literature review
Search peer-reviewed research on energy economics, policy effectiveness, and technology transition studies. Ground your policy recommendations in the latest empirical evidence rather than relying on advocacy materials.
Find recent academic papers on the employment effects of fossil fuel phase-out policies. Focus on just transition literature from 2020 onwards.
Found 34 papers. Key findings: coal region just transition programs in Germany show 60-70% job placement rates with retraining support. US analysis shows 2.5-3.5 clean energy jobs created per fossil fuel job displaced on aggregate, but geographic mismatch is significant. Top cited: Louwen et al. (2022), Pai et al. (2021), Jenkins et al. (2023).

Policy brief and memo writing
Draft policy briefs, regulatory comments, testimony, and stakeholder memos from research notes and data. Communicate technical policy analysis clearly for legislative, executive, and public audiences.
Write a 2-page policy brief recommending FERC adopt standardized interconnection procedures for offshore wind projects, summarizing the key barriers and proposed solutions.
Drafted policy brief with executive summary, 3 barrier categories (transmission queue backlog, cost allocation ambiguity, and permitting timeline uncertainty), 4 policy recommendations with precedents from other jurisdictions, and a conclusion urging action before the 2026 offshore wind deployment window. Formatted for submission to a Congressional committee.

International energy data analysis
Pull World Bank and international economic data on energy access, consumption intensity, and policy outcomes across countries. Support comparative policy analysis with real data rather than anecdotes.
Compare electricity access rates, renewable energy share, and per capita energy consumption for Brazil, India, South Africa, and Indonesia over the past 15 years.
Compiled dataset: India improved electricity access from 67% (2010) to 97% (2023). Brazil leads renewables at 83% of electricity mix. South Africa has high per-capita consumption but low renewables (12%). Indonesia shows fastest absolute growth. Full time-series data and chart included.

Stakeholder mapping
Identify key stakeholders in a policy process — industry associations, advocacy groups, researchers, and regulators — and build contact lists for engagement, coalition building, or opposition research.
Map the key stakeholder organizations in the US offshore wind policy space — both proponents and opponents. Include their positions and key contacts.
Identified 28 key organizations: 11 proponents (AWEA, SEIA, Environmental Defense Fund, state offshore wind offices), 8 opponents or skeptics (fishing industry associations, some coastal communities), 9 neutral/regulatory (BOEM, FERC, Coast Guard). Summarized each organization's primary position and policy asks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI keep me current on FERC proceedings and regulatory filings?
News monitoring can track media coverage of FERC proceedings, rulemakings, and orders. For official docket filings, you still need to monitor FERC eLibrary directly. AI tools are best used to synthesize and summarize coverage of proceedings rather than replace primary source monitoring.
How do I use AI for public comment writing?
Content Repurposer can draft regulatory comments from your research notes, policy positions, and supporting evidence. Provide a clear brief of your argument and the regulatory context. Always review and refine AI-drafted comments before filing — your professional judgment and legal review remain essential.
Is World Bank data current enough for policy analysis?
World Bank data typically lags 1-2 years for developing country statistics. It is appropriate for trend analysis, cross-country comparisons, and structural analysis. For near-real-time data on OECD countries, supplementing with EIA, Eurostat, or national statistical agency data is recommended.
Can I use these tools for testimony preparation?
Yes — Deep Research and Academic Research help build the evidentiary base, while Content Repurposer can draft testimony in appropriate formats. For legislative testimony, ensure all statistics are verified against primary sources before submission, as AI-synthesized data should always be cross-checked.
How can I research utility commission proceedings in other states?
Deep Research can summarize major state utility commission orders and proceedings covered in trade publications and policy reports. For accessing actual docket filings and official commission orders, you will need to use each state commission's public filing database directly.
