During President Donald Trump’s first hundred days of his second term, the administration has moved with remarkable speed to recast the nation’s energy and environmental landscape, advancing an agenda that favors fossil fuel expansion and pares back climate commitments. From invoking a “national energy emergency” to ease approval of coal and natural-gas infrastructure, to unraveling Obama- and Biden-era regulations and retreating from the Paris Agreement, the White House has prioritized what it calls American Energy Dominance. Simultaneously, tariffs, permitting freezes, and funding suspensions have placed formidable obstacles before renewable developers, leaving industry stakeholders bracing for a future unknown.
