Big oil gathers in Texas but beneath the bravado, Trump-induced anxiety
Briefly

CeraWeek this year marked a significant pivot for the fossil-fuel industry, which celebrated increased energy production while moving away from previous sustainability commitments. Following Donald Trump’s re-election, the mood was characterized by enthusiasm for energy dominance, with major executives praising the administration’s deregulation efforts. Leaders like Amin Nasser of Saudi Aramco rejected the shift towards renewable energy, asserting its futility. Even BP, once a climate leader, called for increased gas output, indicating a full embrace of fossil fuels amid political changes.
The energy dominance mantra has become the rallying cry at CeraWeek, overshadowing previous commitments to sustainability as the fossil fuel industry shifts its focus.
Executives previously committed to sustainability now applaud the Trump administration, signaling a dramatic pivot in the industry's sentiments about energy policies.
