The Battle Over Clean Energy

Wildfires, flooding, and some of warmest years on record -- climate change has become an ever more imminent threat. But without action from DC, the states have become the frontline of climate change policy.

Professor and MIT Alumna Leah Stokes (PHD 15 and SM 15) is featured on Scholars Strategy Network's podcast 'No Jargon,' where she unravels the history of clean energy laws in the states, how environmental advocates and industry groups have battled it out there, and how the Green New Deal fits into the fight.

Listen to the full episode, here.
