Vermont clean heat standard repeal sent to governor's desk; veto expected

Vermont's clean heat standard repeal bill has been sent to Gov. Phil Scott, who is expected to veto it. The move keeps the state's climate policy in limbo and underscores ongoing political friction over emissions-reduction rules and a related gas bill. Market impact is likely limited and mainly relevant to regulated energy and climate-policy watchers.
