Trump's Return To White Won't Have 'Shocking Effect' On US Clean Energy Growth, Say Analysts
"You could see a new administration come in and they can very quickly begin to cut budgets or restrict budgets or restrict the freedom of agencies to do certain things that are tied to funding," he said.Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris. This victory, confirmed by the Associated Press, marks Trump's return to the White House, raising questions about the future of U.S. energy policy.
特朗普概念已被宣佈爲2024年美國總統大選的贏家，擊敗了賀錦麗。這一勝利得到美聯社的確認，標誌着特朗普重返白宮，引發了對美國能源政策未來的疑問。
What Happened: Trump's presidency is anticipated to pivot U.S. energy policy back towards oil and gas production, Reuters reported on Wednesday. However, experts suggest this shift will not significantly hinder the ongoing growth of renewable energy. The Inflation Reduction Act, enacted during the Biden administration, offers substantial subsidies for solar and wind projects, making it challenging to repeal.
發生了什麼：據路透社週三報道，預計特朗普的總統任期將會重新引導美國的能源政策回歸石油和燃料幣生產。然而，專家表示這種轉變不會顯著阻礙可再生能源的持續增長。拜登政府頒佈的通脹削減法案爲太陽能和風電項目提供了大量補貼，使其難以廢除。
Carl Fleming from McDermott Will & Emery noted that while Trump's administration might slow progress by limiting federal budgets and offshore wind leasing, the momentum remains strong.
麥德美仕律師事務所的卡爾·弗萊明指出，儘管特朗普政府可能通過限制聯邦預算和海上風力租賃來減緩進展，但動力依然強勁。
"You could see a new administration come in and they can very quickly begin to cut budgets or restrict budgets or restrict the freedom of agencies to do certain things that are tied to funding," he said.
他說：「你可能會看到一個新政府過來，他們可以很快開始削減預算或限制預算或限制機構的自由去做一些與資金相關的事情。」
"But I think that's a smaller subset of the larger renewables market that's really relying on those, so I don't think it would have a shocking effect."
「但我認爲這只是更大的可再生能源市場中的一個較小的子集，而這些市場確實依賴於這些市場，所以我認爲它不會產生震撼效應。」
Trump's allies, benefiting from clean energy investments, may resist drastic policy changes. Tony Dutzik from Frontier Group suggested Trump could favor fossil fuel extraction on public lands, potentially impacting offshore wind projects. Despite potential policy shifts, the U.S. is expected to maintain its status as a leading oil and gas producer.
受益於清潔能源投資的特朗普盟友可能會抵制急劇的政策變化。Frontier Group的託尼·杜茨克表示，特朗普可能會支持公共土地上的化石燃料開採，可能會影響到海上風力項目。儘管可能發生政策轉變，美國預計將保持其作爲領先的石油和燃料幣生產國的地位。
Why It Matters: The 2024 election was a closely watched contest between Trump and Harris, with Trump emerging victorious. This victory comes amid a backdrop of cautious market sentiment, as investors remained wary ahead of Election Day.
爲什麼重要：2024年的選舉是特朗普和賀錦麗之間備受關注的激烈競選，特朗普最終勝出。這一勝利發生在謹慎的市場情緒背景下，投資者在選舉日前仍然謹慎。
The energy sector outperformed, with solar stocks rising, indicating strong investor confidence in renewables. Trump's previous administration prioritized fossil fuels, but the ongoing clean energy boom, bolstered by federal incentives, suggests that the transition to renewables is resilient. As lessons from 2016 indicate, Trump's policies may influence energy markets, but the momentum towards clean energy appears robust.
能源板塊表現強勁，太陽能股票上漲，顯示投資者對可再生能源的信懇智能信心。特朗普之前的政府優先考慮化石燃料，但由於聯邦激勵措施的支持，正在進行中的清潔能源繁榮表明向可再生能源的過渡是有彈性的。正如2016年的經驗教訓所示，特朗普的政策可能會影響能源市場，但走向清潔能源的勢頭看起來是穩健的。
