The Red States Punishing Green Businesses

The Red States Punishing Green Businesses

State treasurers in red states have been banding together to punish companies that are trying to divest themselves from the fossil fuel industry.

Guest: David Gelles, correspondent on the Climate desk at The New York Times, covering the intersection of public policy and the private sector.
