	Description:		California's largest agricultural water district is making controversial plans to conserve water and invest in solar panels. It’s a Biden-esque policy move prompted by the projected impacts of climate change and shifting political winds. But that strategy is prompting a power struggle within the district that could determine how water fights unfold across the state. POLITICO’s Ry Rivard breaks down how the district is going through a political transformation, its approach to climate change, and what it means for California at large. Plus, the Biden administration finalized tighter offshore drilling safety rules on Tuesday.
