Best of G&R: The Myth of California’s Climate Exceptionalism ft. Gary Graham Hughes w/ Biofuelwatch

Not unlike our (not so) esteemed leadership in Congress, Green and Red is out on a little summer recess.  We will be back with new episodes soon.

In the meantime here’s a “Best of Green and Red” episode from March 2022 on the energy sector’s false solutions agenda in California. Since false solutions like carbon capture and storage and nuclear are in the news so much lately (particularly hipster socialist Brooklyn media) and getting new life through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), we thought we’d share a little info on them.  But we’re now planning an episode on the IRA coming soon.

But the California state government is captured by oil interests like many others. The pro-industry legislation and political action just comes in different forms.
