“Energy rarely charts among the top election issues in the US, but as Americans prepare to vote next week on a new president and Congress, the industry at home and abroad is bracing for outcomes that could have wildly different impacts. The two candidates, US Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, have little in common on policy — on energy and climate, certainly, but also in how they see the US’ role in the world. The outcome will have major implications for topics ranging from LNG to climate diplomacy, oil and gas production, and low-carbon technologies.”

“One reason voters feel they don’t know what Kamala Harris would do if elected isbecause she isn’t honest about what she believes. Take energy policy. While slip-streaming behind President Biden, she’s winking to the left that she really doeswant to shut down U.S. fossil fuel production.”

“At the mouth of New York’s Hudson River, Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor is building the largest US port for offshore wind, and a potential monument to America’s energy future — or its past. As Americans brace for one of the closest presidential elections in the nation’s history, investors and executives alike have been parsing campaign statements for which industries stand to gain or lose the most in the next administration. But as election day nears, one is clearly emerging as the most exposed to the outcome: renewable energy.”

“November’s election for president of the United States will have crucial implications for the nation’s and world’s energy and climate policies. From meeting the needs of the energy transition, to managing conflicts between trade policies and climate goals, to engaging in the global competition for critical minerals, decisions the next president makes will reverberate around the world.”

“Over the past decade, the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), under the leadership of Fatih Birol, has become an important geopolitical actor in promoting the energy transition. 1 ‘In the nearly nine years since he took over, Birol has led the agency’s efforts to publish a flurry of reports and analyses that show policymakers where countries are on their decarbonisation journeys and how they can accelerate’, according to recent reporting in Time magazine. 2However, a statement Birol made earlier this year left some energy watchers wonder-ing if he may be too optimistic about the trajectory of the transition, particularly if the presumptive Republican nominee for US president Donald Trump wins election in November 2024.3 When queried about what a second Trump presidency might mean, he said, ‘I don’t expect the political changes of a president or a minister or anything else will be able to stop the clean energy transition. The economic and technological dynamics are very strong’, adding, ‘I believe the clean energy transition will continue to move fast, whoever the next president or the minister [of] this or that country will be’. 4This editorial will explore where the US is today as the Biden administration heads towards the end of its first term and consider what a second Trump presidency might mean.”
