About this episode
POLITICO Energy host Manuel Quiñones sits down for an extended interview with Pete Maysmith, the president of the League of Conservation Voters, an advocacy group that works to elect pro-environment candidates. They discuss the state of the environmental movement ahead of the November midterms in the wake of recent electoral results that suggest climate issues may not be top-of-mind for voters and the Trump administration's regulatory rollbacks.
