The devastating wildfires that are raging throughout the Los Angeles area could break California's insurance market. POLITICO’s Camille von Kaenel lays out how the state's insurance market has already been teetering on the edge of insolvency for years now and why these recent fires could accelerate its collapse. Plus, a new analysis published in the journal Science says EPA's power plant climate rule would accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions from the power sector by pushing coal retirements.
