2011 in Energy and Environmental Policy
Brad Plumer, Washington Post
After Republicans took control of the House in the 2010 midterms, many observers predicted that it would be a fairly quiet year on the energy and environmental fronts. After all, the odds of a big cap-and-trade bill making it through House Speaker John Boehner’s caucus were zero. The two parties no longer even agreed on whether climate change is real. What could Congress possibly accomplish?
