Join us in the presentation of "Climate of Contempt:  How to Rescue the U.S. Energy Transition from Voter Partisanship" by David B. Spence. 

Climate of Contempt offers a voter-centric, bottom-up explanation of national climate and energy politics, one that pinpoints bitter partisanship as the key impediment to transitioning to a net zero carbon future. Providing a timely and incisive understanding of the politics of the energy transition, Climate of Contempt suggests new paths forward and offers hope for a net-zero future.
