As President Trump fills out his cabinet, there exists much uncertainty about what his election will mean for U.S. energy and environment policy. Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for a panel discussion to discuss with three senior energy and environment advisors to President George W. Bush—Jim Connaughton, former Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Jeff Kupfer, former Deputy Secretary of Energy, and Bob McNally, former Senior Director for International Energy on the National Security Council.

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
November’s election for president of the United States will have crucial implications for the nation’s and world’s energy and climate policies.
