Climate Conference: The Trump Effect: Uncertainty for Oil and Gas, Momentum for the Energy Transition
Trump is counting on oil and gas, but the Iran war and energy crisis are making renewables more attractive. What does his defeat in the US midterm elections mean for the climate conference in Turkey?
US Democrat Senator-elect James Talarico from Texas says he will prioritize preserving well-paying oil and gas jobs in the state, while also promoting wind and solar energy. Talarico's comments come as Democrats celebrate a strong showing in congressional elections, which has raised hopes among climate activists.
