Why Democrats Or Republicans Can’t Walk Away from Big Oil And Fossil Fuels

Both political parties remain reliant on fossil fuels to sustain the economy, despite growing interest in clean energy. With 11 million U.S. jobs tied to the fossil fuel industry compared to just 3 million in clean energy, a full transition seems unlikely in the near future. Even Exxon anticipates a long-term role in the energy sector. However, clean energy continues to grow, creating jobs and revenue, especially in red states. The key question now is which party will best support clean energy development.
