A Mother Jones analysis argues that Trump's actions, including the conflict with Iran and his attacks on climate policy, have inadvertently exposed how vulnerable fossil fuel dependence is, strengthening the case for renewables. The piece ties the argument to Climate Week and California Governor Gavin Newsom's climate advocacy, framing recent turmoil as an unexpected boost for the clean energy transition.
Why now: The overlap of geopolitical conflict, Trump's energy agenda and Climate Week has reignited debate over fossil fuel dependence and renewables.
