No he isn’t. He is putting a few brakes on in places but there are too many ecconomic tail winds and so green energy is being added despite his efforts. There are only a few places his position even has power, most green energy is a state permit only.
For everything the Trump administration has done to make solar and wind power less economically feasible, it turns out his war in Iran has done way more to make fossil fuel consumption less economically feasible as well.
Trump may be the best thing to happen to energy since we discovered fusion.
Can we yet call the discovery of fusion a “thing that happened to energy?” ;D
It’s getting there, I suppose!
I meant fission, but crossing my fingers for fusion
unfortunately he’s decimating green energy in pretty much every other area. especially wind.

Exactly!
FTFY. The long term outcome for this is that the world stops revolving around the US. For better or for worse
When batteries one day gets lighter in weight, we might see hybrid planes at scale. Or even full electric for smaller flights.
Then oil is really about to get abundant in some parts of the world.
It’s already happening with cargo ships and trains. (Yes, I know they are much easier to transition to electric than planes)
Fossil Fuels, sure. Those are also a finite resource we cannot rely on forever.
In my view, I am hoping that gas gets so expensive that capitalism forces the shift into renewables
Rushed emergency responses create waste and bad execution.
