US president Donald Trump is a great fossil economy friend.
After returning to power in January he gave his first work the president’s decree “Liberalizing American energy”.
The setting ordered, for example Joe Biden The administration flagship project to be abolished by the Green New Deal.
Professor of International Politics at the University of Tampere Pami Aalto says that Trump is moving in circles of climate change.
Supporting the fossil economy is probably a choice for Republican President.
“Fossil production has long been a major backbone in the US economy. The whole culture has revolved around it. For example, people have had big, much -consuming cars. ”
Aalto says that in the 2010s many jobs were created in the US in the 2010s, both around the fossil economy and the green transition. This was the case, for example, from its oil industry in the famous Texas.
“There are many states in the US that look in two directions. There is a fossil and green industry. Trump could choose both, but he has only chosen another. ”
How significant can Trump can do to work against climate change?
“Yes, this will surely lead to a globally significant green transition braking movement that will appear around the world as emissions.”
The Green Transition Investment Support Package, launched by the Joe Biden Administration, has been a major incentive for the industry to move to the United States.
Now the Trump administration is trying to slow down or prevent the package. The removal of tax reliefs will slow down the American industrial transition.
