How President Trump Will Affect Clean Energy and the Climate Change Fight

So it happened. Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton last night in a stunning victory. While many groups from Silicon Valley to the auto industry are concerned about the win, none should be more worried than those working on the future of clean energy and the fight against climate change. Industries like utility-scale solar and wind, which have been growing dramatically and lowering costs for some time, will likely keep charging ahead under a Trump administration. Those sectors are already competitive on cost and have been creating jobs in states like California, Texas, and Iowa.
