How Climate’s Playing in the Democratic Primary
Episode description
We’re off to the races! The Democratic primary started slow off the blocks in Iowa, but the nomination process is now well underway following the New Hampshire vote.
What have we learned so far in this election? Where have we seen climate and energy play in? And what’s to come next?
On this week’s episode of Political Climate, we discuss the latest developments in arguably the most consequential — or at least the most contentious — election in U.S. history. Plus we touch on a handful of energy policy updates.
