Trump's 1st year back: Fossil fuels surge, renewables recalculate

One year into his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is exerting a major impact on the US energy landscape. With policy direction shifting rapidly, the administration's moves on fossil fuels, regulation and geopolitics are already rippling through markets, supply chains and long-term energy transition plans. In this episode, Dan Testa is joined by Jasmin Melvin , senior editor at S&P Global Energy and head of The Energy Daily, to address whether the US is headed for a renewed fossil-fuel boom, what that means for clean energy, and whether there is still room for a durable, balanced energy strategy in the years ahead. Jasmin spoke with Maya Weber , senior editor at S&P Global Energy, to break down the most consequential policy shifts so far. The conversation then turns to industry and market impacts, with Dustin Meyer , senior vice president at the American Petroleum Institute, and JC Sandberg , chief policy officer at the American Clean Power Association.
