It depends on who has control of the Senate. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Marco Mangelsdorf.

We will discuss Joe Biden’s aspirations for an ambitious program on climate change and energy, including his plan to rejoin the Paris Agreement and reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions in the next few years. Can he achieve that if the Republicans hold the Senate? It’s not at all clear.
