History shows that businesses that don’t stand up to political leaders suffer the consequences. In October, Trump’s allies threatened to terminate Deloitte’s government contracts—worth about $3 billion annually—if Trump is elected to a second term. Why?

Highway expansions emit a lot of carbon in their production. California prides itself on its climate leadership. And the state’s work on transportation—its largest source of emissions—is no exception; its electric vehicle policies have been adopted by other states across the country.
