On his inaugural day, President Trump issued an executive order that aimed to initiate a fresh chapter in “unleashing American energy.” Following this, the administration proclaimed a national energy emergency, withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, and formed the National Energy Control Council.
During a speech to Congress in March, Trump committed to quickly boosting the production of fossil fuels and minerals, famously stating “drills, babies, drills.”
There are concerns that Trump’s trade tensions with Canada, a major oil supplier to the U.S., could negatively impact American consumers. For a brief period, Canada imposed electricity fees in states like Michigan, Minnesota, and New York, but these were quickly lifted when Trump paused many of his tariffs.
So, how are stakeholders in climate and energy adjusting to these swift policy shifts? What implications do these changes hold for the future of energy and environmental policies in the U.S.? How does America fit into global climate initiatives? Moreover, what will be the impact of these new approaches on the daily lives of Americans?
Join Hill’s Energy & Environment Summit, where leaders from government, sustainability, and global energy solutions will convene to discuss these pressing issues.
