The one climate technology that might survive the GOP megabill

from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO

As the Trump administration and congressional Republicans try to pull back federal support for climate technologies, carbon capture has mostly avoided the GOP onslaught. POLITICO’s Debra Kahn breaks down how carbon capture has largely dodged GOP attacks and why the technology hits close to home for House Speaker Mike Johnson in her latest Currents column. Plus, a top Interior Department official said he expects the seven states that share the Colorado River to strike an agreement on a new long-term management plan by next spring, but raised the threat of federal intervention if those negotiations fail. Debra Kahn is the editor of POLITICO's California Climate newsletter and author of Currents, a reported column about the energy, environment and climate debates. Josh Siegel is the host of POLITICO Energy and a congressional energy reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.  Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.  Gloria Gonzalez is the deputy energy editor for POLITICO.  Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.
