For decades, Americans have been moving south and west. That
migration pattern become apparent in American politics, when seven
congressional districts moved states after the 2020 census, and it
continues to be visible in the booming construction and job

In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, Galen

of time before those trends reverse, or at least shift. Although,
this time, he writes in his new book "The Great Displacement," it
won’t be cheap housing, low taxes and plentiful jobs that attract
people to new places. It will be a worsening climate that pushes
them away.<br>

<font face="Calibri"> September 13, 2015:</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The Los Angeles Times reports on the fossil
fuel industry's role in sabotaging a bill to reduce petroleum
consumption in California.</font><br>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri"><b>The inside story of how power
struggles doomed Jerry Brown’s top priority</b></font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">BY CHRIS MEGERIAN, MELANIE MASON</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">SEPT. 13, 2015 </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Reporting from Sacramento — One of Gov.
Jerry Brown’s most ambitious environmental goals was hanging in
the balance when two powerful California lawmakers met for
dinner near the Capitol. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Pushing the governor’s proposal to slash
gasoline use on state roads was Senate leader Kevin de León, a
Democrat from Los Angeles. Sitting across from him was
Assemblyman Henry Perea, the Fresno leader of business-friendly
Democrats fighting the plan.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">If the two could make a deal, the
controversial legislation might be saved despite fierce
opposition from the oil industry. They hit on a potential
compromise that would limit new state regulations, ending dinner
with an agreement to keep working.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“I thought there was a real possibility,” De
León said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But the next day, things fell apart, and the
bid to cut gas consumption was stripped from the bill. At a time
when Brown likes to say the eyes of the world are on California,
the leaders conceded a major environmental fight a few months
before they will attend the United Nations conference on climate
change in Paris.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Brown and De León blamed the oil companies,
describing their warnings about gas rationing and high pump
prices as a “smoke screen.” That was far from the only hurdle,
however, according to lawmakers and staff members.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The measure’s supporters were also unable to
counter industry assertions that the bill would hand too much
authority to state regulators — a message that resonated with a
new generation of lawmakers eager to shift more Capitol power in
their direction. Meanwhile, the governor carefully guarded his
administration’s wide authority to pursue aggressive
climate-related goals without interference from the Legislature.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">In the end, it wasn’t doubts about the global
dangers of climate change that scuttled the gasoline target, but
questions of who would get to pull the strings in Sacramento.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Interested in the stories shaping California?

<br>
<font face="Calibri">De León drew the idea for his legislation
directly from Brown’s January inaugural address, which kicked
off the governor’s historic fourth and final term.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Brown laid out three goals: doubling energy
efficiency, generating half of California’s electricity from
renewable sources and cutting petroleum consumption in half, all
within 15 years.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The senator included all three in his bill.
But the Brown administration had mixed feelings about the move,
according to participants in private conversations who declined
to speak publicly.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">In fact, administration officials believed
they could push the state toward the gas-reduction goal without
new legislation. The California Air Resources Board, a
regulatory agency led by longtime Brown ally Mary Nichols, says
it already has programs in place to do exactly that.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But De León, whose district suffers from
poverty and pollution and who has sought to put his stamp on
environmental policies, wanted the target in law. Whereas the
governor is likely to discuss climate change in global terms, De
León pitched the bill as a chance to improve public health and
spark economic development with green jobs.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The measure, SB 350, sailed through the
Senate in June. But it quickly met a hostile reception in the
much larger Assembly, where many members elected under
relatively new term limits were eager to assert themselves,
emboldened by the longer service they are allowed. In addition,
business interests hold more sway in the lower house, and oil
companies spent significantly to help elect candidates last
year.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Perea is a top beneficiary of oil largesse;
he has received nearly $100,000 in campaign contributions from
the oil and gas industry since his first Assembly campaign in
2010, according to the National Institute for Money in State
Politics.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Others include Assemblyman Adam Gray
(D-Merced), with $80,000, and Assemblyman Rudy Salas
(D-Bakersfield), with more than $65,000.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Perea, who became De León’s main foil, and
his allies said they feared aggressive policies from regulators.
Such stringency could harm low-income communities like Perea’s
with higher costs for fuel and electricity, they said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">To De León, that sounded like talking points
from the oil companies. But the message stuck even with
lawmakers who weren’t industry backers, and Perea brushed off
accusations that he was doing oil’s bidding.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“Who gets to wear the white hat and who gets
to wear the black hat … oversimplifies the issue,” he said, “and
allows you not to listen to the other side, who may actually
have a point.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">As lawmakers returned from summer recess in
August, the oil companies’ campaign was in full swing, with
television ads, radio spots, social media graphics and fliers in
the mail warning that rationing would leave families pushing
their out-of-gas minivans down the road.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Environmental activists responded by going
door to door in undecided lawmakers’ neighborhoods. National
Democratic figures backed the bill; President Obama mentioned it
in a Las Vegas speech.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But the rallying cry was falling flat. The
debate was grating on lawmakers. Some Democrats, including Perea
and Assemblyman Sebastian Ridley-Thomas of Los Angeles, began
blocking activists on Twitter.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Administration officials ramped up their
involvement as the deadline for bills neared, but it was clear
that the atmosphere surrounding the issue had already become
poisonous.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Some proposed concessions — making the gas
target more flexible, for example — didn’t appease opponents,
who felt their concerns about oversight were not being
adequately addressed.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">With only three days to go until the
Legislature adjourned, “we’re still not happy,” said Assemblyman
Jose Medina (D-Riverside).</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">That night De León dined with Perea. Their
idea was simple: If administration officials felt they could
reach the gas target with existing policies, why not bar
regulators from adopting additional rules?</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But the next day, De León reconsidered. He
and Brown feared the change would be a Trojan horse: Rather than
simply bar new regulations, it would allow oil companies to
re-litigate policies already in place.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">For the governor, it was critical that
regulators kept a free hand to pursue his climate-related goals.
His meetings with oil representatives suggested they would
settle for nothing less than a neutered air board.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“He was given a Hobson’s choice. There was no
good solution,” said Timothy O’Connor, director of the
California Climate Initiative at the Environmental Defense Fund.
“In the end, he wanted to preserve his world-class agency.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Now the end of the legislative session was
just two days away. Brown and De León needed to decide their
next move. They huddled in the senator’s office with Assembly
Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) while reporters stood outside.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">De León wanted a vote on the Assembly floor.
He believed his bill could pass with a few tolerable concessions
if environmental and labor groups could be rallied to tip
undecided lawmakers to their side.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But after more than two hours, the trio
agreed there was no path forward that included the gas goal.
Dropping it was the only way to get a vote on the rest of the
bill, which still included important mandates for renewable
energy and energy efficiency.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">They decided to cut their losses, but they
stayed mum. Opponents of the bill began lining up votes for a
floor fight, not knowing they had already won.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">At a hastily arranged news conference, Brown,
De León and Atkins told reporters the measure — which the
Legislature ultimately passed on Friday night — would no longer
be the “triple crown.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Asked if the defeat would weaken California’s
message at the Paris summit, Brown said, “We have to keep
working here at home.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">He thanked De León and Atkins for their work.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“This was a tough battle,” he said gravely,
“and they’re going to have a few scars to show for it.”</font><br>
