Abstract
As attacks on the administrative state abound, the federal government’s ability to respond to climate change is at a crossroads. The Intergovern mental Panel on Climate Change has been clear about the reality of climate change—human activity is responsible for deteriorating climatic conditions, and global temperatures are on track to eclipse 1.5°C of warming as early as 2030. Currently, the United States electric grid is undergoing a major transition due, in part, to massive federal investments in aging infrastructure and clean technologies and declining costs for renewable energy.
