Description (excerpt):
Federal policy receives the bulk of the nation’s attention to energy and climate matters, from
President Obama’s Clean Power Plan to President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris
Agreement. Yet much of our nation’s energy and climate policy is made by governors, state
legislatures and agencies across the country. However, it can be very difficult to track these
disparate actions to understand where progress is being made and which states are falling
behind. Beyond the Beltway provides insight into the range of factors – political, geographical,
economic and more – that determine the immensely varied state energy and climate policies
across the nation.
