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.

Location: Resources For the Future 1400 16th St. NW 1st Floor Conference Space Washington, DC 20036 In the United States, a suite of technological advances have led to a historic increase in oil production over the past decade, ushering in a new era for American energy and transforming regions with growing production, jobs, and government revenues. For these producing regions, however, the story is also about local economic volatility and vulnerability. Along with substantial economic benefits, production growth has imposed substantial burdens on communities and governments in the oil patch, who must accommodate the influx of workers through investments in infrastructure and other public services, all while keeping an eye toward an inevitable dip in prices and local economic activity. In the private sector, businesses face difficult decisions about the scale and timing of investments in regions where economic volatility makes it difficult to anticipate consumer demand, labor costs, and more. Join the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy and Resources for the Future (RFF) in Washington, D.C. as we examine the regional impacts of oil volatility, and discuss whether there might be a federal role in supporting producing communities. Two panels will bring together experts at the federal, state, and local levels to discuss how volatile oil prices have affected and are likely to affect the economies of producing regions, and examine potential avenues for federal intervention to support economic diversification and fiscal health in producing regions. Panel I: Energy Volatility – Local Impacts and Response 9:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Daryl Dukart, County Commissioner, Dunn County, North Dakota Sue Gander, National Governor’s Association (invited) Diane Rahm, Professor, Department of Political Science, Texas State University Moderator: Daniel Raimi, Resources for the Future Panel II: Federal Intervention to Support Producing Regions 11:00 a.m – 12:15 p.m. Adele Morris, senior fellow and policy director for Climate and Energy Economics, Brookings Patrick J.

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.
