Costs plus Trump deliver double whammy to blue states on climate

The same affordability concerns that swept President Donald Trump to office are keeping blue-state leaders from mounting a vigorous response to his dismantling of federal climate policies.

ALBANY, New York — State climate policies are reeling from a double blow.

Even before President Donald Trump started dismantling the regulations and incentives that were meant to cut planet-warming pollution, blue states were grappling with their own voters’ concerns over high electricity and gas prices.
 
Taken together, the dynamics threaten the success of Democratic officials to aggressively fight Trump’s agenda and save their own climate goals.


“The public is exhausted,” said New York Assemblymember John McDonald, a Democrat from the Albany area. “At the end of the day, they don’t want to see their bills go up. We have to be sensitive to that.”

Democrat-led states have responded with an acknowledgment that they may not be the bulwark against federal climate rollbacks that they were during Trump’s first term.
