  "account": "US President Donald Trump is inadvertently driving the energy transition forward, according to an analysis. Following his victory in the 2020 election, the main topic was whether the USA would revert to the climate protection policies of his first term. At the start of the climate conference in Turkey this year, Trump once again set the tone. His defeat in the US midterm elections has led to cautious optimism. While no climate policy shift is expected during Trump's remaining presidency, the election results did change political power dynamics in Washington, and revealed that his course is not unassailable.\n\nThe second reason for Trump inadvertently becoming a driver of green energy is that despite his focus on fossil fuels, the expansion of renewable energy has accelerated in the USA. This is also happening globally. Trump's foreign policy has unintentionally made him a proponent of green policies. The Iran war and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have driven up prices for fossil fuels, making the risks of oil and gas visible, leading to global downward movements towards green energy. Yes, coal has made a comeback occasionally, and global coal-fired power generation is far from over. However, the global energy transition has developed a technological and economic momentum that political forces, even in staunchly petro-dependent countries, cannot reverse.",
