Trump vs. Harris: Who Will Be Better For Clean Energy in America?

In their discussion, Doug McIntyre and David Callaway explore the differing environmental policies of potential U.S. presidential candidates, Trump and Harris. McIntyre notes that Trump is unlikely to support significant green initiatives, while Callaway emphasizes that Harris, if elected, would continue Biden’s green policies but would not jeopardize the fossil fuel industry for political gain. Harris is expected to advocate for climate change mitigation and the growth of green energy, but she is aware that pushing too hard may be politically unpopular. Both agree that significant actions against the clean energy sector are not anticipated, regardless of who wins the election. While Trump may issue executive orders that shift funding from clean energy to fossil fuels, Callaway asserts there will not be a complete dismantling of the clean energy industry.
