States are stepping up to advance policies that tackle climate change, lower energy bills, improve air quality, and support good-paying clean energy jobs as the Trump administration rolls back federal climate protections. A report from the Center for American Progress examines key gubernatorial and legislative actions in 2026. The report analyzes activity across four key areas: power sector, transportation, buildings, and industrial policy. In the power sector, states are reworking their electricity system to focus on affordable clean energy and energy storage. States are also building out electric vehicle charging stations and cracking down on emissions from warehouses and freight systems. The report's author, Frederick Bell, states that the choices states make now will shape affordability, resilience to extreme weather, and clean energy growth in the years ahead.
