In 2018, President Donald Trump said “I'm a tariff man”, declaring they were the way to make America rich again. Six years on and just weeks into his second term, he is putting that philosophy into practice. President Trump has announced a barrage of new and increased tariffs on imports into the US, including a 10% levy on all goods from China. He has threatened 25% tariffs on imports from Canda and Mexico, although those were put on hold for a month. And he has announced a strategy of reciprocal tariffs, promising to match other countries' barriers to imports from the US with equivalent levies on their exports. It is a time of turbulence. What does it mean for the energy transition? To analyse what all these actual and threatened tariffs mean for energy security, the economy and the climate, host Ed Crooks – Vice-Chair for the Americas at Wood Mackenzie - is joined by three policy experts from the US and Canada. Samantha Gross is the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. Joseph Majkut is director of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. And Andrew Leach is an energy and environmental economist at the University of Alberta. Together they discuss the Trump administration's strategy, and where it might lead. How do the tariff plans align with President Trump's goals for boosting energy production and driving down prices for consumers? What happens to complex international supply chains as tariffs rise? And where does this leave the global effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions? Samantha Gross says the situation is ‘”rotten for the climate”. Does she have a point?Let us know what you think.

On this episode, we have John Strohfus who is the Founder and CEO of Field Theory and Minnesota Hemp Farms Incorporated. John is supporting regenerative agriculture as a row crop farmer managing 1,000 acres in Minnesota, by working as a broker and supply chain builder with multiple brands, and by selling CPG products in the Field Theory brand that contain regeneratively grown ingredients. In this episode, John educates us on what really matters to farmers, gives his take on conventional regenerative versus regenerative organic, and breaks down what it takes to find, aggregate, and broker regenerative ingredients for other brands. This was a super fascinating conversation and a great one to start of the new year. John's three-pronged perspective as a farmer, broker, and brand builder really unlocked some amazing insights. We were pumped to have him join us and hope you learn as much as we did. Episode Highlights:

On this week's episode, I discuss how Joe Biden and University Presidents have been trying for weeks to appease pro-Palestine protestors, and it has gone nowhere. We know from history that appeasing ideologists will never work, and instead of negotiating with protestors who will never be appeased, we should be showing strength. Next, I detail how California comes last in the business climate when realistically California should be first in the country. Hurtful climate policies and taxes are the reason to blame, and you can go to GoldenTogether.com to learn more about our initiative on tackling these ridiculous anti-business laws! Next, I move on to exposing California Representative Ted Lieu's financial scandal with the journalist who broke the story, Jennifer Van Laar. We also discuss her breaking story, which detailed the 11 felonies of Assistant Los Angeles DA Diana Teran, aka George Gascon's Number 3. This is not an episode you want to miss!

Data centres centers used to have power demand measured in the tens of megawatts. Now they are in the hundreds of megawatts, and the new ones that are being proposed have demand in the thousands of megawatts: gigawatts. At Distributech in Feburary, Harry Sideris of Duke Energy said it used to be a big deal when they had a customer wanting to add 10MW or 20MW of load. Now they have several planned data centers for AI needing 1000MW each. How is this additional demand being met? According to Duke, with a lot more renewables, more gas, and eventually more nuclear. What does that mean for net zero goals? Despite the growth in renewable energy sources, the anticipated 25% increase in gas-fired generation over the next 15 years in the US raises concerns for achieving net zero, especially when compared to the expected triple-digit growth rates for onshore wind and utility-scale solar. On this episode of Wood Mackenzie's The Energy Gang, Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Myers-Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, who returns to the show to explore the feasible paths to net zero in light of increased energy demand. Also joining this week is Samantha Gross, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution. Together they debate the plans for demand management, and stocktake on global warming goals set at the Paris Agreement.Is it time to give up on the 1.5 degree target? The world looks like crossing the threshold set in 2015 at COP21 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, to mitigate and ultimately avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. John Kerry, who just stepped down as President Joe Biden's climate envoy, said recently that the world was on course for more like 2.5 degrees of warming. Many businesses still have alignment with a 1.5 degree scenario as part of their climate goals but we've just experienced a year of temperatures more than 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. And finally, the EV market is – contrary to popular opinion – doing just fine. In China, things are more than fine; prices are falling and sales are skyrocketing. Sales of what China calls “new energy vehicles” – that is, battery electrics, plug-in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles – were up 37.5% in the first two months of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023. In that period – January and February of 2024 – those New Energy Vehicles took 33.5% of the car market. The prices are on the way down too. Reuters has calculated that BYD has cut the prices of its EVs by an average of 17%. What does this mean for the US market?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Samantha Gross, director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at Brookings, talks with David Dollar about whether we can attribute the growing number of extreme weather events and disasters to climate change. Gross says global temperature rise makes these events more likely, but also notes that international cooperation to reduce carbon is having a positive effect on average temperature rise.

“For anything to happen on a grand scale, we need to have culture supported… Artists are good at planting these seeds, putting the stories out there and for anybody. The key is repetition. So, if you encounter a certain story, certain type of story in the music you listen to, in the articles that you read, in the billboard that you see or the murals that you see when you walk down the street at some point, it creates a frame that you can start to live in and the changes become something that is natural.” Chantal Bilodeai on Electric Ladies Podcast How do we reach the “unconverted” – those who do not yet take the threat of climate change seriously? Maybe culture has some answers, because stories, music, art…culture…touches us in ways nothing else does. This is a critical and timely conversation many of us communications leaders had at the Sun Valley Forum recently too. How do we leverage them to help us talk about the weather differently, as I wrote in Forbes recently? Listen to Sandra Bargman and Chantal Bilodeau, who created, produced and performed the “Earth Intention: A Climate Cabaret,” on Electric Ladies Podcast in this reply of this powerful and inspiring conversation with host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: Why culture is vital to massive social, political and economic change. How music and the arts move people through “hope.” How to communicate climate messages in stories without being preachy or awkward About using the arts to reach people who may not naturally “get” the climate message, or who may be overwhelmed. Plus, insightful career advice …. “It's never too late to pivot. I think people who are mid-career, women particularly, we always feel like, ‘oh, my time was then,' (but) it is never too late to pivot…And the other thing that reflects my career is, don't feel as though you have to pick one lane. You can pick more than one lane and both of those lanes or more can be successful.” Sandra Bargman on Electric Ladies podcast Read my articles in Forbes about how we talk about the weather, and about developing a new narrative for the climate effort.

ThoughtSpace - A Podcast from the Centre for Policy Research
To mark CPR's 50th anniversary, we are delighted to present a brand new interview series called CPR Perspectives. Every month we plan to bring you a flagship conversation, with Rohan Venkat interviewing a faculty member on their research, policy practice and engagement with the most critical questions of our age. Over the past five decades, the Centre for Policy Research has played a unique role in India's policy landscape, tackling concerns as varied and vital as climate change and federalism, urbanisation and national security and bringing a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach to the field. Today, with India facing a complex geopolitical landscape and even greater development and climate challenges, the Centre's faculty continue to produce field-defining research while also working directly with policymakers and stakeholders in government and beyond. In the first interview, Rohan speaks to Navroz Dubash, a professor at CPR where he also runs the Initiative on Climate, Energy and Environment. Dubash is one of the world's most renowned experts on climate change, having worked on the subject since the 1990s – well before it became a household term. Dubash's wide-ranging career has featured landmark research papers, agenda-setting edited volumes, two authored books and key roles on a number of official and advisory committees in India and at the global level. He was a Coordinating Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations' panel which publishes landmark reports on the state of climate change research. Dubash's work led to CPR being the overall anchor institution and technical knowledge partner for the Indian government's Long Term-Low Emissions and Development Strategy. He has received the TN Khoshoo Memorial Award for his work on Indian and global climate change governance, the Emerging Regions Award by Environmental Research Letters, and the SR Sen Award for Best Book in Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, for his book Tubewell Capitalism. In this conversation, Dubash talks about about working on climate change back in 1990 - well before it was in vogue, whether it is frustrating to still be going over questions of climate change vs development that have been around since then, why the Climate Initiative at CPR turned into the Initiative on Climate, Energy and the Environment, and why it's important to make academic work accessible for wider audiences. Navroz talks about what it was like to help the Indian government draft its strategy for low-emissions development, why it's important to not just follow the Western narrative on climate change and what advice Dubash has for younger scholars entering this important field.

Podcast Intro: We are now experiencing extreme weather events and conditions predicted for 30 years or more. And this is just the beginning. This is the hour when Mother Nature gets rolling. The important thing for people to realize is that the EPA has many levers under the Toxic Substances Control Act. For example, they can regulate the industry with a fee and dividend so that they charge taxes on the fossil fuel industry. And those taxes are 100% refunded to the public, based on the public's financial needs. Dr. Lise Van Susteren is an expert on climate change's physical and psychological impacts and was behind implementing the Toxic Substances Control Act. Today, Cate and Lise Van Susteren will talk about the power of the Toxic Substances Control Act and its effect on large industries, how politics is hugely involved in protecting the environment, and the emotional effect on every individual. What you'll get out of tuning in: How does Toxic Substance Control Act work? How large can the Toxic Substances Control Act affects industries? How the Politics block things, not the public? How do environmental problems affect an individual's emotional state? Links/CTA: Sign the petition here >>> CPR Initiative All the FAQs about the petition >>> FAQs Read what Wash Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote Leonardo DiCaprio With Elon Musk Deciding that carbon dioxide is a toxic substance defined by law would only be the first step. The EPA would have to formulate and implement rules that could, for example, impose a fee on carbon emissions and require companies to remove carbon from the atmosphere they have already expelled. But it's all there in black and white in the Toxic Substances Control Act, which passed and was amended with bipartisan support. Textualists will have to tie themselves in knots to explain why the law's words don't mean what they clearly say. Highlights: Cate tells her story when she is at Carleton College in the year 1995. Cate tells her story about when she was in the Massachusetts high schools Cate tells her insights about Elon Musk's Electric Cars Timestamps: [3:08] Toxic Substance Control Act [8:34] Scale of Industry [14:42] The Political World that blocks things [20:11] Growing Problem in emotional toll on individuals and community [22:46] Organization Cate started in Highschool [30:11] Can the next administration reverse the Toxic Substances Control Act [31:16] What can people do [33:19] Elon Musk's Electric Cars Quotes: Frankly, it's not the public so much anymore. It's the political world that is blocking things. And it's just a few people. You get the people who care the most, are the most sensitive, and they'll become the most depressed and despondent on not wanting to reproduce. If we want to change society, it's by connecting with the people that were connected to. So that's one of the key elements that people don't always realize. We have the power to design the future the way we want, the way we know, and we should, ethically. We're spending about $150 billion a year on cleanup. And suppose you take the national average inflation-adjusted. In that case, that's about three times the amount in the 40 years before the last five years and three times the annual amount we used to need to clean up after extreme weather. Guest Bio: Lise Van Susteren Dr. Lise Van Susteren is a general and forensic psychiatrist in Washington, DC, and an expert on the physical and psychological impacts of climate change. In 2011 she co-authored “The Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the U.S. – Why the US Mental Health System Is Not Prepared”. Van Susteren is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University and has been a consultant to the Executive Branch of the US government profiling world leaders. After receiving her medical degree from the University of Paris she practiced medicine in West Africa, at community health centers and homeless shelters in metropolitan Washington DC. In addition to community organizing on climate issues, Van Susteren serves on the Boards of Earth Day Network, and Physicians for Social Responsibility and is a co-founder of “Climate Psychiatry Alliance,” and “Climate Psychology Alliance – North America “, professional groups dedicated to promoting awareness and action on climate from a mental health perspective. Van Susteren is the expert witness on the psychological damages to young people from inaction on climate in Juliana v US Government, in Held v Montana and in the European Court of Human Rights. She is a frequent contributor to television, radio, and print media. In 2006 Dr. Van Susteren sought the Democratic nomination to the US Senate from Maryland. Her book, “Emotional Inflammation – Discover Your Triggers and Reclaim Your Equilibrium During Anxious Times” was published in April 2020.

“For anything to happen on a grand scale, we need to have culture supported… Artists are good at planting these seeds, putting the stories out there and for anybody. The key is repetition. So, if you encounter a certain story, certain type of story in the music you listen to, in the articles that you read, in the billboard that you see or the murals that you see...at some point, it creates a frame that you can start to live in and the changes become something that is natural.” Chantal Bilodeai on Electric Ladies Podcast Stories. Music. Art. They move us in some magical way that nothing else taps. Why? Why do they matter to climate and energy? Because they can touch us in a way nothing else can, inspire us and motivate us, and we need every tool in the toolbox to address climate change. How? Listen to Sandra Bargman and Chantal Bilodeau, who created, produced and performed the “Earth Intention: A Climate Cabaret” recently to inspire people through music and the arts to take the necessary action to save the planet, in this inspiring conversation with Electric Ladies podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: Why culture is vital to massive social, political and economic change. How music and the arts move people through “hope.” How to communicate climate messages in stories without being preachy or awkward About using the arts to reach people who may not naturally “get” the climate message, or who may be overwhelmed. Plus, insightful career advice …. “It's never too late to pivot. I think people who are mid-career, women particularly, we always feel like, ‘oh, my time was then,' (but) it is never too late to pivot…And the other thing that reflects my career is, don't feel as though you have to pick one lane. You can pick more than one lane and both of those lanes or more can be successful.” Sandra Bargman on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also want to listen to (some may have been recorded under our previous name, Green Connections Radio): Deborah Rutter, President, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts – on managing creative people.

The transition to a clean energy economy will generate millions of new jobs. Unions are working to ensure that those jobs provide a living wage. --- Dramatic changes are underway in the ways that the United States produces and consumes energy, with major implications for the country's workforce. Along the Atlantic shore, states are racing to establish large offshore wind farms and the manufacturing supply chains to support them. Automakers in the middle of the country have committed to shifting production to electric vehicles and the federal government to supporting a nationwide EV charging network. Opportunity will continue to grow in clean energy manufacturing, infrastructure and services. A central challenge that lies ahead is to ensure that these new jobs provide secure, living wages to support families and communities as they propel the energy transition. Guest Lara Skinner is Director of the Labor Leading on Climate Initiative at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, which works with labor unions to actively engage in decision making around clean energy and climate policy. She discusses efforts to ensure that new jobs in the clean energy economy address both economic inequality and the need to rapidly decarbonize.

Stephen Crolius is the co-founder and president of Carbon Neutral Consulting, a New York-based sustainable business consultancy. He and his team recently released The Ammonia Report, an analysis of the prospects for using ammonia as a maritime fuel instead of heavy fuel oil, the petroleum-derived traditional source of maritime energy. So much of what we buy today is shipped halfway around the world. Sometimes, the components of a product are shipped from the U.S. to Asia, processed and then shipped back. Almost all of that shipping activity burns oil today, which accounts for about 1.8% of humanity's annual carbon footprint, according to the European Commission's Climate Action office. We need to change the fuels used to power sea-going freight vessels to sustainable alternatives, and several are emerging. One of those is ammonia.Stephen previously served with the Clinton Foundation's Climate Initiative and as president of the Ammonia Energy Association. Ammonia has been used in fertilizers since the early twentieth century, a development made possible by the emergence of the Haber-Bosch process for mass producing the chemical, which revolutionized farming. Now ammonia is coming into use as a fuel or an intermediate storage medium for energy that can be processed to yield pure hydrogen in fuel applications. You can follow the developing story of ammonia fuels at https://www.ammoniaenergy.org/articles/.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has stepped away from his administration's plan to create a coalition of New England states with the purpose of cutting transportation pollution after the compact failed to generate broad support. Baker's announcement came after Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, who supported the initiative, indicated he was abandoning the Transportation and Climate Initiative. Rhode Island was the only other state to have expressed interest in the deal. The governors of other states — New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont — were skeptical of the program, in part over fears that it amounts to a gas tax or a tax on carbon. The proposal would have required large gasoline and diesel fuel suppliers to purchase “allowances'' for the pollution caused by the use of the fuels they sell in the region.
The first half of the hour Dan discusses:Wave Goodbye to TCI... Governor Charlie Baker has announced Massachusetts is abandoning the plan to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, known as the Transportation and Climate Initiative. The Administration says support for the plan in neighboring states had evaporated. Is this good or bad news? Mike Stenhouse, founder and CEO of the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity (and formerly of the Boston Red Sox), joins Dan to discuss the development. Then the second half of the hour Dan dives into this 3rd topic of the evening:The Verdict Is In. Kyle Rittenhouse is now a free man after a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin found him not guilty on all five felony counts for killing two men and seriously injuring a third amid protests over police brutality. Did the jury do the right thing? Your reaction to the not guilty verdict!

Achieving something known as net zero – in other words, balancing the amount of greenhouse gas produced by an activity and the amount removed from the atmosphere – is a key focus of leaders in the global livestock industry and among food manufacturers and retailers. What will it take to achieve net zero, and how will the effort affect food production and consumption around the globe?Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, a ground-breaking new climate initiative, has launched with some 40 leading organizations, including 11 of the 20 largest dairy companies in the world, declaring their support for the effort. Collectively, these supporters represent approximately 30% of total milk production worldwide.The new climate initiative demonstrates the global dairy sector's commitment to reducing GHG emissions while continuing to produce nutritious foods for six billion people and provide for the livelihoods of one billion people.In a recent edition of Feedstuffs 365, our Sarah Muirhead sat down Donald Moore of the Global Dairy Platform to find out more about achieving net zero. Moore also provided an update on the recent U.N. Food Systems Summit.This podcast was sponsored by Arm & Hammer Animal and Food Production and their #ScienceHearted podcast, “Food Chain Chats.

The Connecticut legislative session has concluded, and it seems that in some ways, this "Land of Steady Habits" has emerged as a changed place. Yesterday, Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill legalizing marijuana, a deal that took many years, and almost fell apart at the end. Lawmakers and the Governor also agreed on a budget deal that didn't raise taxes, but certainly put the issue of tax fairness front and center - shining a light on divides within the Democratic party. And, the biggest piece of environmental legislation in years, the Transportation and Climate Initiative, failed, but the state did tackle climate and waste issues in a substantial way. Last night, I talked about these issues and more with CT Mirror reporters Mark Pazniokas, Keith Phaneuf and Jan Ellen Spiegel in our 2021 legislative wrap-up event on Zoom. We were joined by many viewers who asked questions about what did and didn't get done. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2018, Connecticut announced it would be part of an ambitious multi-state program to cut carbon emissions from transportation. In December 2020, Governor Lamont signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and D.C., committing to launch a regional transportation "cap and invest" program. But now, the regional program has suffered a setback: the Connecticut state legislature failed to bring the Transportation and Climate Initiative up for a vote during the 2021 legislative session. This hour, we get reactions from environmental advocates. And we check in with Rhode Island to learn more about what this development in Connecticut means for the entire regional climate emissions program. GUESTS: Amy McLean - Connecticut state director and Senior Policy Advocate for Acadia Center Alex Rodriguez - Climate advocate with Save the Sound Dave John Cruz-Bustamante - Student at Wilbur Cross high school in New Haven; community organizer with Sunrise New Haven and an Operations Apprentice at the Citywide Youth Coalition Alex Kuffner - Environment reporter for the Providence Journal Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Transportation and Climate Initiative is now down to 3 out of 13 participants after Connecticut scrapped its implementation of the program as part of a budget compromise. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C. are now the only active participants left in the regional "cap-and-invest" program to limit carbon pollution from cars and trucks and generate resources to expand clean transit options and improve public health. Should TCI be shelved? Alli Roberts, Director of State Policy at Ceres, joins Dan to discuss.
This month's AASHTO ETAP Podcast will focus on how state agency partnerships are helping Connecticut both achieve its state climate goals and implement the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program, or TCI-P. State DOTs are critical stakeholders in deciding how to re-invest revenue generated caps on emissions. TCI-P is a historic multi-state effort to cap and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation In Connecticut, for example, TCI-P is projected to generate roughly a billion dollars over the next decade, much of which will support transportation systems.To learn more about TCI-P and the ongoing collaboration between state agencies in Connecticut, we are joined by Katie S. Dykes, the Commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, or DEEP, as well as Garrett Eucalitto, the Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Transportation.

On March 31, the Biden administration released the American Jobs Plan, which establishes broad goals for achieving a cleaner and more equitable future, including significant investments in green jobs like caregiving and clean energy infrastructure. On April 22—Earth Day—Biden further raised the stakes, committing the U.S. to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Even still, there are legislators at local, state and federal levels that continue to deny climate change as real.Meanwhile, in Flint, Michigan, after a five-year water crisis, reports say the water is now clean—but many locals still refuse to drink it to this day, due to a loss of trust.How do global warming and other environmental concerns affect the lives of listeners in coastal areas, or those who live near waste sites, or in areas where environmental concerns are hidden? What does environmental and climate justice look like? Now that the U.S. has reentered the Paris Climate Agreement, what next steps must be taken to address climate change and environmental injustice here at home? What can we expect from the Biden-Harris administration?

The Transportation and Climate Initiative is a regional collaboration of states that seeks to improve transportation, develop a clean energy economy, and reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector. Last week, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed a climate bill committing the state to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Other regional states such as Connecticut have yet to fully pass a climate bill. Chris Herb, President of the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association, joins Dan to discuss the repercussions of the TCI and these climate bills, which includes a potential gas tax hike.

Virginia is working with several other states to cut carbon emissions. But, the Commonwealth is not part of a new compact of states raising revenue to take action. Michael Pope reports.
Climate change hasn’t gotten much attention this election cycle. It’s hard to compete with a global pandemic. But most voters believe climate change poses a risk to the United States. During his time in office, President Donald Trump’s administration has rolled back or changed scores of environmental regulations — President Obama had put many of those policies in place as executive orders when he couldn’t get Congress to pass legislation. So what’s next? Wednesday at 9 a.m., MPR News host Kerri Miller looked at where we’ve been the past four years and how we got here.

We know that humanity’s use of fossil fuels is damaging the planet’s climate, yet coal, oil, and natural gas generate most of the electricity we use to power our lives. We know how to use alternative sources of energy that generate less carbon—such as water, wind, and nuclear—yet replacing fossil fuels with other sources has proven difficult. Why? That's the central question asked by the guest on this episode in her new Foreign Policy essay, "Why are fossil fuels so hard to quit?" Samantha Gross is a fellow in Foreign Policy at Brookings and director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative. Her essay is a rich exploration of the history, science, and politics of fossil fuels and offers a way toward cleaner energy. Also on this episode, Alan Berube, senior fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program, introduces the new Metro Recovery Index that tracks the impact of COVID-19 on and progress on recovery for the economies of the 200 largest metro areas in the United States.

In last night's state of the state address, Gov. Charlie Baker again reiterated his support for the Transportation and Climate Initiative, a 12-state climate compact to lower greenhouse gas emissions by putting a tax on gasoline even though a number of governors in the group have already given it a big thumbs down. Supporters say TCI is necessary to help stop climate change while critics say it is taxation without representation. Is Governor Baker in denial over the future of the initiative?
