"Most CEOs believe climate change is real. They need to deal with it to stay profitable, create resilient operations, and remain relevant to their customers and employees. Texas leads the country in the production of both fossil fuels and renewable energy, in part because everyone knows the state's power grid needs all the help it can get."
""This is a pattern we've seen swing back and forth in Washington," one manufacturing leader told me. "We can't plan around election cycles." This person and others did express concern that a Supreme Court challenge could permanently damage the EPA, creating an uneven playing field while reducing incentives to curb greenhouse gases at a critical time for the planet."
Most CEOs believe climate change is real and maintain climate strategies to protect profitability, build resilient operations, and remain relevant to customers and employees.

Policy shifts and legal moves, including the Supreme Court's Chevron reversal and termination of the 2009 endangerment finding, have not altered many corporate plans. Business leaders worry a weakened EPA could create uneven regulatory conditions and blunt incentives to cut greenhouse gases. Many executives are unwilling to speak on the record. Emissions-measurement software firms report growing demand driven by cost and operational benefits rather than regulation.
