R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.

R Street senior fellow Devin Hartman and EDF’s Lenae Shirley discussed on Greentech Media’s The Interchange podcast how competitive electricity markets align the conservative and green agendas. The reasons are simple – competition and consumer choice drive economic development and innovation and deployment of clean energy resources. This has resulted in the political right, left and clean energy industry expanding conversations on how clean energy can compete on its merits. Hartman discusses pro-market, pro-consumer reforms, while the hosts note political convergence around unease with the monopoly utility model.
