It is a tumultuous time for policy in general but especially so in the climate and energy space in the US. President Donald Trump’s recent orders to halt the concentration of a $6B wind farm that was almost completed is emblematic of the administration’s approach to climate. Executive Orders like EO 14154 “Unleashing American Energy” instead shift direction to exploiting natural resources and ensuring energy security.
Trump’s tariff-based approach will be counterproductive: it will fail to block Chinese products and will undermine domestic solar panel production through higher input costs.
