The Early Lessons of Trump’s ‘Energy Dominance’

The Early Lessons of Trump’s ‘Energy Dominance’

Congress is still debating the fate of the Inflation Reduction Act, but the Trump administration has already torn up energy and climate policies across the federal government. It’s time to step back and try to take stock. How much damage has the Trump administration already done to decarbonization? What’s most worrying? What was going to happen anyway? And what might still be saved?


On this week’s episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse go agency by agency to understand the most important changes and try to understand the deeper agenda — including potential points of incoherence or disagreement. Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Robinson Meyer, Heatmap’s executive editor.


Mentioned:


Trump’s effort to undo the EPA endangerment finding


The incoherence of Trump’s energy agenda


Offshore Wind Faces Its ‘Worst Case Scenario’ Under Trump


Trump’s effort to block the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund


How Tesla gets rich selling EV compliance credits


The next front of Trump’s legal war is contract law


Jesse’s upshift; Rob’s upshift.

Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.
