On January 20, Donald Trump returned to the White House and signed executive orders that prompted substantial rollbacks in climate policy and renewable energy initiatives. His declaration of a "national energy emergency" and the "unleashing American energy" order blamed regulations for constraining affordable electricity generated by fossil fuels. Notably, Trump suspended all offshore wind energy permits. Despite claims of hindering job growth, the renewable energy sector outpaced fossil fuels in employment, demonstrating robust growth and stability in clean energy jobs throughout 2023.
