The U.S. was struggling to reduce carbon emissions even before the second Trump administration and David B. Spence offers a compelling voter-centric explanation for the bitter partisanship that has complicated America’s clean energy transition. His timely new book Climate of Contempt: How to Rescue the U.S. Energy Transition from Voter Partisanship explores the effects of polarization and propaganda on energy policy and shows a path forward for cooperation on this crucial issue. Spence is an energy law and regulation professor from University of Texas at Austin. Join us Tuesday, March 18 for this lunch talk at UCLA Law with Professor Spence in conversation with UCLA Law Professors William Boyd and Ann Carlson .

Spence's book will be availiable for purchase at this event.

Lunch will be provided for those who RSVP by Saturday, March 15.
