Trumponomics: Will Trump’s bill trigger a ‘Big, Beautiful’ energy crunch?

In a bonus episode from the "Trumponomics" podcast, Stephanie Flanders hosts Ethan Zindler and Emily Birnbaum to discuss the implications of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" on the U.S. renewable energy industry. The conversation explores how the bill's phasing out of tax credits for clean energy could lead to higher electricity prices and hinder the growth of AI infrastructure in the U.S. They delve into the political dynamics behind the bill, the influence of the fossil fuel lobby, and the potential economic consequences for consumers and businesses, including the possibility of AI development shifting to countries with cheaper energy. The discussion also covers the challenges of reviving the coal industry and the broader impact on U.S. climate change goals.
