How US polls will affect renewable energy plan

When Donald Trump became US President four years ago, he ridiculed the Paris Climate Accord and promised to get USA out of the Agreement. However, his presidency has in essence not slowed down global momentum to increase renewable energy and reduce use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas). Research and technology have continued to deliver more renewable energy at reduced production costs and improved investor economics, critical success factors for transition to low carbon economies.

Without trying to predict US November elections outcome, the likelihood of a Joe Biden win can only hasten transition to low carbon energy. His green election manifesto promises a return of US official political voice and leadership on climate change, quite necessary in sustaining global green momentum.
