What does the wind energy horizon look like?
A new study examines the effects of wind turbines on our visual landscape, Most Americans—between 70% and 90%—are in favor of harnessing wind power. That is according to one study looking at decades of public acceptance of wind energy nationally. But wind power projects can sometimes be stifled by local opposition, in part because of … Continue reading What does the wind energy horizon look like?

Trump tariffs are coming, but some Chinese companies may already know how to avoid them
Some experts liken tariffs to a game of whack-a-mole, with trade flows simply rerouted if the potential rewards are big enough. Businesses are bracing for the economic impact of a second Trump presidency, which, if his campaign promises are to be believed, will mean tariffs across nearly all imports to the US, especially those from … Continue reading Trump tariffs are coming, but some Chinese companies may already know how to avoid them

The impact of Republican control on US energy policy and the IRA
We expect renewables to remain competitive, and while protectionism will rise, a full repeal of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is unlikely. Following the US election, our experts from across the energy sector have worked to produce a cross-commodity report – ‘A second Trump administration Part 2: A deep dive into energy and commodities‘ – outlining … Continue reading The impact of Republican control on US energy policy and the IRA

US offshore wind industry turns to supply chain to try to survive Trump
If the US offshore wind industry goes down after Inauguration Day 2025, it will go down swinging. Stakeholders have been scrambling to make their case before the new administration takes office on January 20, and they are not relying on clean kilowatts to do it. Instead, they are rolling out the supply chain defense. Connecticut … Continue reading US offshore wind industry turns to supply chain to try to survive Trump
