COP on the Hill: Stories from the week of December 8, 2023

This week was centered on the annual, 2-day Energy Transition conference in DC (my Fourth). This one was not as productive as last year (spoke to 4 Members of Congress).  I did enjoy the change of pace and had a long chat with the Norwegian ambassador on her countries’ drug policy and one of the presenters.
