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.
One area sure to be upended by a second Trump presidency is environmental and climate policy. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to roll back myriad environmental regulations and refocus America’s energy policy on the fossil fuels that are driving the climate crisis. In this Q&A, UCLA School of Law experts Cara Horowitz and Ann Carlson weigh in on the possible impacts.
