With Trump securing a second term, concerns arise about the impact on the US energy transition. Despite his past climate skepticism and actions like withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and cutting clean energy funding, the broader momentum of renewable energy is expected to persist. The US has seen significant growth in renewables, with solar accounting for a large portion of new capacity additions. The International Energy Agency predicts a doubling of clean technology investment compared to fossil fuels globally. Trump's attempts to roll back climate policies could face legal obstacles, as demonstrated by the failure of many previous environmental regulation reversals. The IRA legislation has boosted the renewable energy sector, leading to a decline in coal power capacity and bipartisan support for green initiatives. State-level policies, corporate sustainability goals, and market trends are driving renewable energy growth irrespective of federal actions. Trump's focus on energy security and affordability may lead to oil and gas support, but renewables, now cost-competitive, will continue to benefit. Overall, while changes may occur, a complete reversal of renewable energy progress seems unlikely.
