Climate & Energy

Carbon, oil, renewables, EVs — the policy fight over the energy transition.

The climate debate has shifted: the question is no longer whether the climate is changing but what to do about it, how fast, and who pays. Conservatives stress energy security, grid reliability, and the economic cost of an accelerated transition. Liberals stress the physical costs of delay, the geopolitics of fossil fuel dependence, and the industrial opportunity of clean energy. Bilateral covers the policy fights — carbon pricing, EV mandates, pipeline approvals, nuclear permitting, the Inflation Reduction Act — at the level of actual mechanism.
