POLITICO Energy

California is trying to implement sweeping climate change policies before a potential second Donald Trump presidency.

POLITICO’s Blanca Begert breaks down why California’s climate policies are on the clock at EPA. Plus, the oil industry is blasting the Biden administration’s decision to review whether it should consider climate impacts when assessing liquefied natural gas export projects.

The plastics crisis has received attention from lawmakers in state capitals across the country. But, there's a fundamental split in many states between groups arguing that industry needs to be at the table and those who don't trust it to govern itself. That‘s triggered a political battle in California, where a ballot initiative to tax plastic, ban Styrofoam and set recycling targets has scared industry enough to get them to negotiate a compromise bill.
