Last week was a nightmare scenario for the climate movement.
The presidential debate could not have gone worse for climate change supporters. Not only did their preferred candidate look incapable of leading, only a passing mention of environmental issues was made. President Biden did label climate change as an existential threat, but he failed to bolster support for passing the largest climate bill in history.
Th reality is that most voters have no idea what’s in the IRA. The other sad reality is that climate change is not a priority issue among voters, which is one reason why the moderators likely paid little attention to it. And the fact that climate has become politicized isn’t helping. It may be time for a new messaging strategy.
On top of the debate, the Supreme Court dealt a major blow to environmental regulations when it sent the “good neighbor” rule back to the lower courts and overturned the “Chevron Doctrine” which has defined the regulatory ground rules since 1984.
Expect a multitude of challenges to EPA regulation. Hopefully the impact to the Federal Energy and Regulatory Commission (FERC) will be far less. At best, many regulations may be delayed as they make their way through the court process.
