About this episode
House lawmakers are questioning the Biden administration’s deal to rejuvenate salmon and steelhead species along the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest and support efforts to replace the hydropower along the river. It’s a political issue angering Republicans, who accuse the Biden administration of wanting to remove the Snake River dams. POLITICO’s Annie Snider breaks down the administration’s decision and the congressional pushback. Plus, the largest offshore wind farm in the United States received the last two major federal approvals it needed to begin construction.
