America's New Energy Playbook

America's New Energy Playbook

Over the past month, the Trump administration has declared a national energy emergency, launched an ambitious agenda aimed at transforming the nation's energy landscape, and pulled back from America's climate commitments.

At the heart of Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" strategy lies a complex balancing act: maximizing domestic energy production and infrastructure development while also navigating concerns about the cost of energy, grid reliability, and economic competitiveness. And there are open questions about the implications for the Biden administration's energy and climate initiatives, including the Inflation Reduction Act, and more broadly for America's energy transition.

How will this reshaping of American energy policy affect domestic markets? What role will technological innovation play in bridging competing priorities? And how might this transformation impact the delicate balance between energy security and climate considerations?

This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Paul Dabbar about the Trump administration's energy agenda, and its focus on national security and energy affordability.

Paul is the chairman and CEO of Bohr Quantum Technologies and a non-resident fellow at Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy. He has spent the last few months leading the efforts of the incoming Trump administration to put together the U.S. Department of Energy. Paul served as the fourth undersecretary of energy for science during the first Trump administration.
