In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Kenneth Irvin, Partner and Co-Chair of the Energy Practice Team at Sidley, to unpack the policy changes that have had the biggest impact domestically and abroad. Irvin considers the knock-on effect of declaring an energy emergency and explains why he believes there is still hope for renewable energy in the US. In this episode you will learn more about: The stand-out policies and executive orders passed in the first month of Trump's presidency; The potential impact of Trump's America-first policy reforms; The future outlook for US renewables energy markets; The sentiment of US and European investors; The importance of patient capital and a long term outlook to investing in the US; How the US's renewed focus on fossil fuels could impact the energy transition in the US and in Europe; Trump's critical mineral mission in Ukraine.
