The United States is in a golden era for climate policy. The policy has been a long time coming, yet came to fruition quickly, responding to the urgency of the climate crisis and the opportunity to legislate before midterms. How the policy will unfold is impossible for me to imagine. Catch up fast: Recent climate legislation.
