This week, we make sense of America’s midterm elections.

We've got a podcast double-header of political coverage. Listen to our Energy Gang analysis below. And make sure to check out Political Climate's episode with Democratic and Republican perspectives on the results.

Covered in our episode: Will Democrats do anything on energy in the House? Why did so many ballot initiatives fail? What does the score tell us about the value of running as a climate hawk?

First, we’ll look at what happened in states with major ballot questions on carbon pricing, market design and renewables. 

Then, we'll discuss what happens over the next two years under Democratic leadership in the House.

Finally, some specific races we were watching and why.
