This week, CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program Senior Adviser Linda Stuntz, Senior Associate John Larsen, and Fellow Cy McGeady join Quill Robinson to discuss permitting reform. With the introduction of Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) and Senator John Barrasso's (R-WY) Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, Washington is once again discussing how the permitting status quo is hindering progress on the United States’ energy security and climate goals.

This week we discuss Mexico’s post-election landscape with Diego Rivera Rivota of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. In June, Claudia Sheinbaum won a resounding victory in Mexico’s presidential election. A climate scientist by background, Sheinbaum is expected to continue many of her predecessor’s energy and climate policies. But how might things shift?  

This week, former Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) joins Joseph Majkut, director of the CSIS Energy Program, to discuss how policymakers can balance the development of the United States' energy resources with climate goals.
