If Hillary Clinton decides to run for presidenta move that observers say is increasingly likelythe topics shes choosing to speak about indicate she would take a progressive view on energy and climate change.

Just months before shes expected to announce whether shes running, the former secretary of state will deliver a speech to a room full of environmentalists at the League of Conservation Voters annual dinner in New York City on Dec. 1.

Earlier in September, Mrs. Clinton spoke at a clean energy conference hosted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), in Las Vegas.

Like that speech, Mrs. Clinton is unlikely to take sides on controversial issues, such as whether she thinks the Keystone XL pipeline should be built. Instead, Mrs. Clinton is expected to use the New York dinner as a pulpit to lay out clean-energy and environmental issues important to her, including global action on climate change and helping other nations tap into cleaner energy sources.

The Washington, D.C.-based group League of Conservation Voters campaigns on behalf of candidates who support environmental regulations aimed at controlling carbon emissions and clean-energy measures.

The group typically doesnt back candidates who support Keystone, but last week it endorsed Michelle Nunn, the Democratic Senate candidate in Georgia, even though she has vocally criticized other Democrats for not supporting Keystone.
