As we enter 2025, how will the shifting political landscape impact our commitment to green #energy and #climate initiatives? In a recent article by Noreen O'Donnell on NBC News, it’s clear that the upcoming leadership changes could significantly affect the progress made under Biden’s climate programs. Trump’s renewed focus on fossil fuels, summarized in the mantra “Drill, baby, drill,” poses challenges to the strides we've made in renewable energy investments. August Fern - SkyDeck's Climate track Chair and Partner Baruch Future Ventures - spoke to Noreen on the power of green energy and resilience. She highlights the importance of economic factors in driving sustainable energy solutions, regardless of political shifts: “We are already seeing market forces beat political posturing. When a new solar plant is the lowest cost option, it will beat out fossil-fueled power every time.” We also loved seeing other and other University of California, Berkeley experts commenting on this important topic, including Professor of Law, Daniel Farber, and Executive Director at the Center for Law, Louise Bedsworth. As we navigate this new year, let’s remain committed to innovation and collaboration in the green energy space. The future of our planet depends on it!
