The Alliance for Clean Energy New York hosted an online information session concerning the state's scoping plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Gov. Kathy Hochul shared what her energy and environmental priorities will be in the coming year, including implementing an economywide cap-and-invest program.

Questions remain about how much of the scoping plan can be implemented through agency rulemaking and what will require new legislation.

Washington’s Supreme Court ruled that the state’s most prominent anti-tax activist cannot put a 2021 cap-and-trade law to a statewide public ballot.

The Western Climate Initiative is one option the Vermont Climate Council will explore to replace TCI-P in its Climate Action Plan released in December.

Cap-and-trade is expected to yield Washington $500 million a year in revenue, according to the state agency charged with running the program.

Western states produced a whirlwind of climate initiatives last year, advancing numerous bills and regulations to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Oregon’s Environmental Quality Commission voted 3-1 to approve rules setting declining caps on GHGs from fuel suppliers, cutting their emissions 90% by 2050.
