This report explores connections between six common areas for state action on energy-related issues {\textemdash} resilience, economic development, energy affordability, electrifying transportation, grid modernization, and using local resources {\textemdash} and reducing air emissions. Although clean air often is not a driver for such state actions, they nonetheless reduce a variety of emissions, including particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. The study spans 15 geographically diverse states: Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. While these states have not adopted mandatory climate goals,\ they conduct a wide range of energy-related activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants as a side benefit.\
