Waxman-Markey, the 2009 Cap-and-Trade Bill That Passed the House and Died How a carbon cap squeaked through the House in June 2009, why the Senate never voted on it, and how its failure shaped the very different climate law of 2022. What Exxon's Own Scientists Projected About Warming in the 1970s and 1980s Exxon's in-house scientists modeled global warming in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and a 2023 study found their projections largely accurate.

Why Thousands of Clean Energy Projects Wait Years to Connect to the Grid Why finished wind, solar and battery projects sit for years in interconnection queues, how studies and upgrade costs pile up, and what FERC's July 2023 order tried to fix.
