Summary
This week: we make sense of America’s midterm elections.
Will Democrats do anything on energy in the House? Why did so many ballot initiatives fail? What does the score tell us about the value of running as a climate hawk?
First, we’ll look at what happened in states with major ballot questions on carbon pricing, market design and renewables.
Then, what happens over the next two years under Democratic leadership in the House.
Finally, some specific races we were watching and why.
