If you haven’t yet gotten your fill of Sightline on Northwest coal and oil plans, then I have good news for you: I was featured recently on a UWTV program, Inside Outlook.

Host Gavin P. Sullivan moderated a discussion with me, Ross Macfarlane from Climate Solutions, and Frank Holmes from the Western States Petroleum Association. The program also includes some time with me—standing track-side in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood—providing additional context and explanation.
