How states will keep fighting for climate progress under Trump

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for a second term, state-level climate initiatives are poised to counteract federal rollbacks. States like California, bolstered by the U.S. Climate Alliance of 24 states, will continue to lead with aggressive policies on emissions reductions, renewable energy, and environmental justice. The Inflation Reduction Act has catalyzed clean energy investments across the U.S., with many Republican districts benefiting from green jobs. Despite Trump's opposition to renewable energy and plans to boost fossil fuel production, bipartisan economic incentives have made renewables cost-effective. States such as Michigan and Maine, along with conservative strongholds like Texas, are advancing clean energy goals, illustrating that the transition to renewable energy remains economically and politically resilient.
