POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down why the administration backed off its original proposal and how it could hurt the president’s standing with climate activists. Plus, the Senate will vote on the three FERC nominees this week.

Chevron is holding them back from 5 stars

Great podcast but supported by chevron…

rxsurfer ,

Mixed bag

Reporting on climate crisis mixed with softball interviews of politicians and mouthpieces for the fossil fuel industry.

Brittpdx1 ,

Too short, not enough insights

This has the potential to be a really good podcast, but I expect more context and background for the stories.
