This week on The Green Hour, we sit down with Quill Robinson, Assistant Director and Associate Fellow at the Energy Security and Climate Change Program for CSIS and Senior Adviser with ConservAmerica, to explore what U.S. climate policy could look like under a second Trump administration. How much will it diverge from Biden’s approach, and what key policies could be reversed or reshaped?

We break down the major shifts that may be on the horizon, including:

• Regulatory Rollbacks vs. Clean Energy Incentives – Trump’s deregulatory stance compared to Biden’s investment in clean energy technologies.
• The Future of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Will Trump scale back or dismantle Biden’s landmark climate legislation?
• Tariffs & Critical Minerals – How trade policies could impact global supply chains for key energy technologies.
• Paris Agreement & U.S. Climate Commitments – What an exit could mean for international climate cooperation.

Join us as we examine the policies, politics, and global implications of a shifting climate agenda.
