California's Cap-and-Trade Win
After numerous attempts, a desperate plea from the governor, and some pot sweeteners to industry, legislators in California finally passed an extension of cap-and-trade to 2030.
It’s a big deal. California is the world’s seventh-largest economy. With Governor Brown vowing to fill in the climate diplomacy vacuum left by Donald Trump, it would have been a huge setback to let cap-and-trade languish. We'll look at the significance.
Then, can geothermal heating and cooling follow the path of solar? Dandelion, a new startup spun off from Google X, thinks so.
We'll end with a look at the wave of executive departures from SolarCity's team in the aftermath of the Tesla acquisition.
