In the latest episode of Energonomics, Richa Mishra examines how Donald Trump’s policies have led to a resurgence in fossil fuels, including coal, and what this shift means for countries like India.
With major oil and gas players revising their investment plans, focusing on exploration and production, the energy transition is slowing down. The episode explores the impact of Trump’s policies like “drill, baby, drill” and “beautiful clean coal,” which have reignited fossil fuel industries, causing a delay in climate commitments and net zero goals. Is this a strategic move by oil majors, or is it a sign of a larger trend?
Richa Mishra speaks to Tracy Shuchart, senior economist at Ninja Traders Live, who explains the implications for energy security, climate policies, and the future of renewable energy investments.
