Why the GOP’s megabill could heat up the planet

from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO

New analyses from four research firms showed the GOP megabill could spike U.S. emissions for years to come, which could in turn hurt global climate goals and America’s green credibility. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks down how the megabill could rewrite America’s climate future. Plus, oil production contracted in the second quarter, according to survey results the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published this week.
