E&EI is based in George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and attempts to build support for energy policies that are dictated by conservative concepts of limited government, big business, accountability, reasonable risk-avoidance, and free enterprise capitalism. He argues that conservatives should accept the scientific consensus on climate change and advocates market-based solutions like a revenue-neutral carbon tax, to be paid for by a reduction in income and payroll taxes. He is executive director of republicEN, a group of conservatives promoting free market fixes to climate change.
