Description:

The Biden administration recently announced that it planned to stop new lease sales at the nation’s leading coal mining basin – a major action that surprisingly received a collective shrug from Washington D.C. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down the muted reaction from fossil fuel backers in particular and what their response says about the coal industry’s decline. Plus, San Francisco will face off against the Biden administration in a Supreme Court fight over EPA's ability to set water pollution limits pegged to the health of nearby rivers, lakes and oceans.
