The Trump administration's energy policies, including rolling back tax credits, imposing tariffs, and offshore wind lease buybacks, could cause the US to lose 390 to 540 GW of new renewable energy capacity over the next decade, without equivalent replacements in other power sources.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your US renewable energy projects face a funding and market access squeeze as tax credit rollbacks and tariffs reduce capacity additions. You need to seek alternative incentives or markets before planned projects are sunk.
