Trump's Policies Threaten US Energy Crisis

Former President Trumps policies, which downplayed renewable energy, have led to a potential energy crisis in the US. Hundreds of billions in tax breaks and grants were redirected from low-carbon power to fossil fuels, stalling projects like the Revolution Wind. Despite key staff being former fossil fuel insiders, US oil and gas production grew five times faster than average global producers since the Paris Agreement. With electricity demand forecast to grow by 25% by 2030, new gas turbines cant keep up, potentially leaving businesses, especially AI sector, without power. Trumps policies have made renewable energy more expensive for consumers, risking accelerated global warming and energy supply issues. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
