America should prioritize energy abundance over emissions targets

Coverage of the American economy and the policy that shapes it: inflation, employment, tariffs, taxation and the federal budget. Distinct from business news, which follows companies rather than the decisions taken in Congress and at the Federal Reserve.

Long-term shifts in the Earth's climate driven by greenhouse gas emissions, and the political response to them in the United States. Covers emissions rules, disaster spending and adaptation, a field where federal policy has reversed direction with each change of administration.

United States policy and political debate over how energy is produced, priced, distributed and regulated, spanning fossil fuels, nuclear power, renewables and the electric grid. Sits where climate policy, industrial strategy and consumer costs collide, which is why it rarely stays technical.

American policy and political argument over climate, conservation, pollution, public lands and the environmental regulation of industry. Much of it is fought through federal rulemaking and the courts rather than legislation, which makes each administration's regulatory posture the decisive variable.
