It has been a tumultuous year for climate and energy policy in Washington. Amidst the noisy debate have come significant policy developments from new climate programs in infrastructure legislation to executive action. Now, Congress may be on the brink of enacting sweeping new climate and energy policies. Experts will let you know what's changed, what's ahead, and what communities should expect.
