2024 Pre-Election Analysis: Energy and Sustainability
The 2024 election has the potential to usher in significant changes that could dramatically reshape the nation’s energy policy. With growing concerns over climate change, economic growth, and energy security at the forefront, the outcome of this election at both the presidential and congressional levels will dictate to what degree the United States pursues aggressive renewable energy initiatives, embraces new technologies, or continues to support traditional fossil fuel industries. The stakes are high with implications that extend far beyond the political sphere and regulated industries, communities, and the environment nationwide.
Harris Administration Energy Policy
Vice President Kamala Harris' energy policy would largely build upon the foundations laid during the Biden administration, characterized by promoting clean energy, addressing climate change through international cooperation, advocating for environmental justice, and supporting a robust regulatory agenda to protect the environment and public health.

What is the International Trade Policy in a Harris Administration?
The Vice President has expressed a desire to build strong alliances and collaborate with international partners. And if elected, we may see her seek to resolve trade disputes through negotiation rather than escalating tariffs as Donald Trump has proposed.
What Could International Trade Policy in a Second Trump Administration Look Like?
If Donald Trump is reelected president, his second term would continue his “America first” approach to international trade, marked by unilateral actions, aggressive negotiation tactics, and a focus on reducing the trade deficit and protecting US industries. His policies would emphasize nationalism and protectionism, with less attention to multilateral cooperation and environmental issues.
