How long will Trump deny reality through his energy policy?

They won’t be in ours Federal Land (These are reserved for oil and gas, perhaps nuclear reactors). They don’t want them farmland. They won’t Allow them Floating overseas. The Trump administration’s war on wind and solar has been getting more aggressive: later last week, for example, it announced whether the investigation should be tariff Wind driving components arrived from other countries, which were used for the project was too late and could not be stopped. As era polite explain“The Trump administration usually has tariffs on protecting U.S. companies from foreign competition and stimulating domestic production of key products. This time, the way to impose tariffs could be one of attempts to stop the industry.” On Friday, it closed almost complete wind farms off the coast of Rhode Island on unspecified “national security” reasons.

If it weren’t such a short-sighted carnival, it would be almost fun to see clean energy at every level of the government. By 2009, Donald Trump Joined a handful of other business leaders to sign Full page advertising exist era Urge President Obama to “strengthen” U.S. climate legislation and “lead by example.” Advertisement insists: “Investing in the clean energy economy will drive state-of-the-art technologies that will stimulate economic growth, create new energy jobs and improve our energy security while reducing harmful emissions that put our planet at risk. We have the capacity and know how to lead the world in clean energy technology.” Other signatorys went scope from Ben and Jerry to Martha Stewart, but only Trump had the remaining major executives signed: Don Jr.; Eric and Ivanka.

But it was a serious injury to see wind turbines on the horizon of Trump’s Scotland Golf Course. Like him Write With his project completed, Scotland’s first minister completed the project, “Unfortunately, the beginning of something valuable and beautiful to Scotland, is undecided in the future of Scotland’s great Scottish coastline.” An unprecedented sum In the election cycle; nearly half of the amount spent in the 2024 cycle are Republicans, and the rest lobbying Congress. We are no longer in Kansas (the fourth largest burning state).

The biggest irony of this dramatic turnaround is that solar and wind power in 2009 are still expensive. Now they are the cheapest form of energy to offer. However, the government is digging. The question is: whether it can maintain the position even when the electricity price is Start to rise? (On average, they have risen 10% so far this year.)

At the moment, the official policy seems to be a complete chaos. The president declared an “energy emergency” on his first day of office in January to suspend regulations and allow for increased drilling and creating more power generation capacity. His team believes we need more electricity to build data centers so that the United States can surpass China in the game of “AI Advantage”. As Trump said in his day one manifesto, “no immediate remedy”, the U.S. energy condition “will be greatly worsen in the near future due to the high demand for energy and natural resources. Powering the next generation of technology. But then a series of the cheapest, equally important, and fastest decisions aimed at limiting new energy supplies. Trump’s team ignored it ask Actual data center operators retained the Biden-era renewable energy rules, which could allow them to build what they need right away. We are using the metaphor of the internal combustion era while covering both the gas and the brakes.

While Economics 101 seems to indicate that cutting off the simplest new supply sources, while demand increases simultaneously will inevitably lead to price increases, the Trump administration has been rejecting this argument in favor of telling Whoppers. Last Wednesday, the president achieved socialization, insisting that “the stupid and ugly windmill is killing New Jersey. Energy prices have risen 28% this year and there is not enough electricity to take care of the country. Stop the windmill!” However, in fact, due to the government’s government, the plan for the Jersey Coast windmills have been cancelled. There are only six wind turbines in the entire state, producing 9 megawatts of electricity, which is 0.03% of the state’s energy production, as the Clean Energy Association notes. Regardless of the power price, it is not wind, and in fact, states with high wind levels, including the red states of North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Oklahoma, have some lowest Electricity prices in the country.

The government’s bet seems to be that it can block renewable capabilities indefinitely, perhaps. But even here has some limitations in the impact: Texas has little public land in a way that continues to lead the nationwide installation of new clean energy. And, outside our borders, the sun hastily continues to not weaken, which is important because Trump also calls on the U.S. to export more fuel in his Energy-Urgent Directive to “create jobs and economic prosperity for the forgotten Americans in the U.S. economy, improve the U.S. trade balance, improve the U.S. trade balance, help our country compete with hostile foreign countries, compete with hostile foreign countries, compete with all people and partisans and international security, and enhance international peace and international security.” That could be a daunting task. We learned about China last month Install In the first six months of this year, new solar energy was 220 million GW, while the U.S. twelve; as a result, its carbon emissions have begun to decline even as its economy continues to grow. (In contrast, the U.S. emission rose sharp During the same period. ) and other countries follow China’s leadership: Indonesia is the fourth largest country in population, announced plan Last week, it was one hundred gigawatts of solar power over the next five years. Why? Because it is much cheaper than running diesel generators that currently provide most of the country’s rural electricity. “The cost of electricity (LCOE) for the system is about $0.12 to $0.15/kWh over the next 25 years, while the $0.20 to $0.40 to $0.40/kWh for diesel generators,” said the head of the Jakarta-based Energy Transition Fluid. PV Magazine.

Figures like this lead the International Energy Agency to believe that the peak of oil consumption on this planet is not out of reach. As in other cases, the Trump administration’s response was an attempt to play data. Currently pressure IEA (Aggressively set by this environment Henry Kissinger In the response of the 190s OPEC Oil price shock) fired a top official and replaced her with someone who would need fossil fuels for decades. “They want the agents there, whether they are professional or political, who can really move the needle,” an unidentified lobbyist Tell politics. “They will get someone they trust and that person will fight from the inside out.”

However, you can only get rid of this manipulation temporarily, and the government’s license may have run out. A fascinating indicator: World Hedge Funds Seems to be Bet On solar energy. since Liberation Day,,,,, Bloomberg reports Earlier this month, the main index of renewable funds rose 18%, while oil and gas stocks fell 4%. “If we are going to continue to grow in developed and emerging economies, we will need a lot of energy,” one analyst explained. “A large portion of the edge growth of energy over the past decade has been from renewables, and it’s hard to see why this isn’t going to continue.”
