Officially, in the United States, renewable energy, wind and solar, fall into the category of unreliable energy “from the radical environmental activist agenda of the previous government”. At least that’s what the Minister of Energy said during the Trump administration, in a report published last July regarding the risk of power outages.
But the report is worrying, with power outages doubling by 2030, due to a lack of additional electricity production. Nine of thirteen regional electricity markets are already on the verge of collapse, while American household electricity bills are soaring in several states.
In fact, President Trump, the candidate “ drill, baby, drill », which has always shown a deep aversion to green energy, has to put a lot of water in its wine to meet the country’s energy needs. And, this summer, his landmark budget bill “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” renewed most of the Biden Administration’s support programs for renewable energy through 2033. And a year after Donald Trump’s victory, which dropped green values, renewable energy and energy efficiency are once again the most promising investment themes of the moment.
