Even though Democrats have been openly hostile to the oil and gas industry at the party’s national convention this week, fossil fuel leaders say there are reasons to feel optimistic by Vice President Kamala Harris' rise and that party officials speak differently behind closed doors. Emma Dumain from POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down how oil industry leaders were messaging at the DNC and if that’s a political risk for Kamala Harris’ campaign.

The Biden-Harris administration is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into clean energy projects in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state in the 2024 presidential election. But it’s unclear if those projects will help Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential campaign and if voters are even noticing the investments. Ben Storrow from POLITICO’s E&E News looks at whether the Biden-Harris clean energy effort in Pennsylvania is paying off politically. Plus, liquefied natural gas developer NextDecade has withdrawn its application to build a carbon capture and storage project on its embattled Rio Grande LNG facility.

Democrats delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding to an Ohio steel plant that coincidentally played a big role in the family history of Senator JD Vance. But if the Trump-Vance ticket wins the White House in November and Republicans take back Congress, that plant could lose the funding it needs for its resurgence. Scott Waldman from POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down how the Ohio steel plant that shaped JD Vance may lose out in a second Trump administration. Plus, Billionaire Elon Musk secured a lower, individual duty on the cars his company Tesla makes in China and sells to the European Union.

Can Tim Walz’s Minnesota help sell Democrats’ c...
Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats are trying to convince voters that the Inflation Reduction Act has created a clean energy boom. And they may use her running mate, Tim Walz, and his clean energy efforts in Minnesota as an example of the law’s success. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel, Kelsey Tamborrino and Catherine Morehouse discuss how Minnesota benefited from the IRA and why Dems think it could help convince voters to vote blue. Plus, red states and coal interests are asking the Supreme Court to put a hold on EPA's update to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard.
