Following Donald Trump's election victory, significant changes to U.S. energy policy are anticipated. His administration is expected to roll back regulations on fossil fuels, potentially increasing emissions and impacting the clean energy sector. This shift raises concerns about climate commitments and state-level climate initiatives.
Trump's election comes after a period of increasing regulatory measures under the Biden administration aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. His campaign promised to prioritize fossil fuel production and dismantle parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, which supports clean energy initiatives.
