WBUR, October 2020

What’s at stake for energy and the environment in the 2020 election? If re-elected, President Trump will continue his focus on American Energy Dominance, a plan he says taps into the country’s energy resources.

We break down what either could mean for Massachusetts with Emily Reichert, CEO of Greentown Labs, and Shalanda Baker, a professor of Law, Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern.

Listen to the interview at WBUR.
