For this episode of The Ballpark, we head to California to take an in-depth look at the Golden State’s considerable economic power and what that means for its ability to influence environmental policy nationwide. We also discuss the state’s worsening wildfires, and what actions the state and federal government can take to mitigate them. This episode includes contributions from Professor Renee Van Vechten (University of Redlands) and Professor Leah Stokes (University of California, Santa Barbara).
