On November 2, the American people were called upon to elect the 112th
Congress, 37 governors, and scores of state legislators. As the polls predicted
the U.S.
political map turned dark red. The Republicans in the House of Representatives,
among them a significant number of climate sceptics, will have to decide what
course to pursue in matter of energy policies and climate legislation at the
national as well as the international level. What does this mean for the
traditional coal and steel states that have been so massively hit by the
financial and economic crisis? What future for a vision of a low-carbon economy
and green jobs? What role will the Obama administration play in this economic,
environmental and political field?
