Trump's green retreat

from Business Daily · host BBC World Service

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order stopping subsidies for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. He has called attempts to boost green energy in the US the "Green New Scam". We head to Middletown, Ohio, where a hydrogen-powered furnace for the steel mill, which was subsidised under the Biden administration, has been cancelled under President Trump. Supporters of the new furnace say it would have made a much cleaner plant in the town and created many jobs. We hear from residents, community leaders, and economists, and ask - what happens when industry clashes with politics?If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, our email address is [email protected]: Erin Delmore Producer: Nathalie Jimenez(Picture: Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works in Middletown, Ohio, in 2024.
