The incoming administration’s energy policies mark a decisive shift toward fossil fuels, with significant implications for the energy market, industrial demand, and macroeconomic trends. These changes are driven by new leadership aligned with hydrocarbon interests, aiming to expand oil and gas production while reducing support for renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
