Biden’s energy legacy is proving hard to kill

President Donald Trump came into office promising to dismantle Joe Biden’s nearly two trillion-dollar climate and clean energy agenda. But a new POLITICO analysis found that major pieces of Biden’s energy legacy are still alive, and the upcoming midterms could help determine what happens to them next. POLITICO’s Jessie Blaeser breaks down what Trump has successfully rolled back, why some Biden-era funding has survived, and how the uncertainty has changed the energy industry’s relationship with Washington. Plus, several independent U.S. oil producers are expected to sign production contracts with Venezuela’s state-run oil company in the coming days.
