A Rhodium Group report highlights that Trump-era policies may lead to natural gas and renewable power competing through the 2030s, limiting power sector emissions cuts. A Columbia University analysis found Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act preserved 74% of planned clean energy capacity compared to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.
