Steyer's group shutters climate policy arm as political efforts ramp up

The nonprofit launched by environmentalist Tom Steyer is shutting down its climate and energy program, in a likely signal that the billionaire is shifting resources to his organization's political arm ahead of the presidential elections. Next Generation, co-founded by Steyer in 2011, plans to end its climate policy work and continue as a "nonprofit incubator," energy program leader Kate Gordon wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO.
