Steyer takes a progressive stand on a range of issues, but his priority is climate change. “I would declare a state of emergency from day one,” he said. He vowed to issue a flurry of executive orders mandating faster deployment of electric vehicles, tough energy efficiency standards for new buildings, and rigorous new rules to restrict the US government’s use of fossil fuels.
