Democratic legislators and activists are pushing to mandate placement of warning labels on gasoline pumps in a bid to discourage the public from using petroleum-based products or vehicles with internal combustion engines.
Growing electricity demand, sparked in part by a predicted boom in energy-hungry artificial intelligence, has state regulators considering higher rates and other significant changes meant to ensure data centers and other large energy users pay for the infrastructure they need instead of spreading those costs amongst existing customers.
Recent high-profile court decisions have put a dent in the climate change protest movement, leading environmental groups to reconsider the costs of litigation and giving industry advocates hope for fewer delays for major projects.
