The Clean Energy Transition Will Outlive Old Man Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Clean Power To The People!
57% : Just this week, the Biden administration took these steps:Let's keep in mind that several things can be true at once: For starters, the US isn't currently on track to meet the earlier 50 percent goal by 2035, but if all of Biden's climate policies were fully enacted -- including a full 10 years of clean energy incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act, EPA limits on emissions from vehicles power plants, and oil production -- we would be well on the way.
49% : These are very dangerous times for life on this pretty blue world, but as we have been saying since right after Election Day, the climate picture in 2024 is in fact much better than it was right after Trump was elected eight years ago.
44% : Just as the economics of gas versus coal has led to widespread abandonment of coal as a fuel for power plants, there's every reason to believe that the efficiency and lower costs of renewables will continue to drive fossil fuels toward an oily grave over time.
40% : Coal simply can't keep up with the lower prices of gas or even renewables, so there's really no bringing it back at this point.
37% : Says Stokes, even after Trump pulls the US out of Paris again,I think there's actually still going to be a lot of progress.
27% : "There is a great deal of mischief that Trump can do.
27% : The energy transition is genuinely underway, and while Trump can do plenty to slow it, clean energy is already becoming far cheaper than the dirty stuff.
26% : As The New York Times points out (gift link), Biden's new emissions targets are not binding, and won't even present Trump with an administrative or legislative roadblock like the EPA rules or the IRA will.
25% : The rest of the planet is still watching the US, and we need to start thinking now about where we'll take the climate fight after Trump, assuming there's still a US to set climate policies.
18% : How badly Trump manages to bollix up the climate remains unknown; it's why we have to fight every last rollback tooth and nail.
