Washington: Voters in Washington will be voting on whether or not to impose a tax on carbon dioxide pollution. The initiative includes specific guidelines on what to do with the tax revenue and stands a good chance of passing.
New Mexico: Voters are electing a public lands commissioner, an obscure office, but one with the power to regulate methane emissions. The Democrat is Stephanie Garcia Richard, who says she will crack down on methane leaks. The Republican, Patrick Lyons, has the backing of the oil industry, including a $2 million contribution from Chevron.
Arizona and Nevada: Both states are voting on whether to require electric utilities to produce more of their electricity from wind and solar. The utilities in both states are campaigning against the measures.
Pennsylvania: Sorry folks, we don’t have the initiative process, and Republicans have gerrymandered the legislative districts. If you live in the 122nd, however, you could help by voting for Kara Scott.
