The biggest thing happening on our planet: The Earth is continuing to heat dramatically.

The 2nd biggest thing: Finally renewable energy seems to be reaching some a takeoff point.

The third biggest thing: the 2024 presidential election, which may determine how high the temperature goes and how fast we turn to clean power.

Can Trump reverse the tide towards renewable energy? No, not entirely—it’s too strong, based on the ever-falling cost of sun, wind and batteries. But he can slow it down considerably. America’s buildout of renewables is dependent, among other things, on overcoming the bewildering array of permitting requirements that make every transmission line a harrowing bureaucratic battle.

If a Trump administration was merely going to be a four-year interregnum, it would be annoying. But it comes at precisely the moment when we need, desperately, acceleration.
