Tariffs, rollbacks, and drill baby drill: Unpacking Trump 2.0 for energy leaders

A new presidency always shakes up the energy world — but what happens when it’s not new at all? With the return of Donald Trump to the White House, energy leaders continue to brace for impact. But unlike a traditional administration transition, this one is informed by a prior term — and yet may bring surprises all its own. In this episode of Power Perspectives, we examine what Trump 2.0 really means for the power sector. What has the administration signaled so far? Which executive orders are more smoke than fire? And how might the next few years shape utilities, grid operators, and clean energy stakeholders? To help us cut through the noise and get to the policy signals that matter, we’re joined by Andrea Clabough, Associate at Goldwyn Global Strategies and Nonresident Fellow at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center. With Andrea’s background advising energy companies on U.S. policy, energy security, and geopolitical risk, she’s the perfect guest to address questions like: What should energy companies really take away from the first 100 days? How will the tug of war between federal and state policy play out in energy governance? And what surprises might still lie ahead in the Trump playbook?
