Democrats plan hearings and permitting changes while Trump threatens vetoes, leaving major clean energy bills unlikely without Republican support.

  • Following last week's midterm victories, Democrats are planning a clean energy agenda to boost renewable energy and address climate change, though President Donald Trump pledged to aggressively veto their legislative efforts.
  • Trump promised to lower energy prices by expanding fossil fuel production, which he argues will provide the lowest-cost electricity while reversing previous climate policies enacted by the Biden administration.
  • Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island said Democrats will "work every angle to lower consumers' energy costs" and demand accountability for alleged corruption tied to Trump's fossil-fuel donors.
  • Former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee expects momentum for clean energy in states with Democratic governors, stating, "I hope people will pay attention to the big progress we."
  • Political scientist Leah Stokes predicts state-level climate leadership will continue next year, even as experts anticipate a federal stalemate despite potential bipartisan consensus on energy permitting reforms.
