Column: Trump promotes coal and oil, rejecting renewable energy
Read the story & commentary question
Guest columnist Tom Wallace reports that the Trump administration issued an executive order labeled “Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry,” directing funding to extend coal-plant lifetimes, reduce emissions, and open federal land for coal leases, while rescinding multiple Biden-era clean energy contracts and grants.
Consider whether federal policy changes could affect permitting, market demand, or financing for renewable generation and storage projects.
Consider: How might renewable project developers adjust financing or project timelines in response to rescinded federal clean-energy contracts and renewed coal-support measures?
Cuba forges ahead with renewable energy plans amid US oil blockade
Read the story & commentary question
Reuters and AP report Cuba is accelerating its renewable transition after U.S. restrictions on oil imports pressured the island to pursue domestic alternatives, installing 144 solar farms totaling about 1,418 MW and increasing Chinese panel shipments.
Consider implications for supply chains, regional installers, and storage needs if constrained fossil fuel access accelerates distributed renewables adoption.
Consider: What operational or storage strategies are Cuban grid operators prioritizing to integrate recently installed solar capacity amid fuel shortages?
An Allen Matkins roundup highlights California’s draft framework proposing unitization agreements for managing pore space for carbon capture, plus CEC rulemaking updates for the Opt-In Certification Program and legal developments restoring Solar for All funding.
Consider how proposed pore-space governance and regulatory timing could influence CCS project permitting, land use negotiations, and storage siting decisions in California.
Consider: What specific permit or land-assembly hurdles should CCS developers expect under the draft framework for unitizing pore space in California?
Explain what a development means, who it affects and what they should consider next. Your commentary can be recorded or typed, then reviewed before submission.
