Election 2020: For DOE, Staffing, Renewables Spending, Transparency at Stake Nov. 3, Analysts Say
In a deep dive look at the US Department of Energy post-2020 election, Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group Senior Principal Frank Maisano told Utility Dive that the DOE “has a general mission that seems pretty consistent regardless of who takes charge.”
A Joe Biden presidential election victory could usher in policy changes at the DOE with a greater focus on renewable energy and transparency, while a second term for President Donald Trump likely means efforts to deregulate industry and a continued support of fossil fuels, experts say. But just how much would change with a Biden win remains unclear.
