The dwindling water from the Colorado River and Sierra Nevada Mountains are going to force us to make structural changes. Does that mean reforming senior water rights? What other hard choices might actually get made because of the dwindling water supply in the West? And yeah, there'll be litigation, but the federal government's going to have to do something. So what do you think and we're looking ahead this year?
2022 was a banner year for climate – both in terms of climate-fueled disaster and historic federal investments in clean energy, electric vehicles and home electrification. The questions now: How will the programs be implemented ? How will the money be spent – and who will benefit? This week, we examine the coming trends in raw material prices, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, new investments in clean tech, tighter rules on pollution and western water negotiations.
