The 2020 election's implications for fracking, FERC and utilities

While Democratic nominee Joseph Biden and Republican President Donald Trump have different stances on fossil fuels, much of the demand for clean energy is being driven at the state and individual consumer level, where it may be difficult to reverse the momentum of a transition toward more renewables. But there are several ways that transition could be slowed or accelerated by the outcome of the election. In the second of two episodes on the Nov. 3 contest, S&P Global Market Intelligence's Energy Evolution team spoke about potential impacts to the oil, gas and utility sectors with Lillian Federico, energy research director for Regulatory Research Associates, Sarah Ladislaw, a senior vice president and director of the energy security and climate change program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Christine Tezak, managing director of research at ClearView Energy Partners. Co-hosts Dan Testa, Allison Good and Taylor Kuykendall are veteran journalists with broad expertise covering the utility, oil and gas and mining sectors.
