Trump plans to reverse climate policies but faces challenges in halting clean energy progress

Donald Trump has been elected president again and plans to reverse climate change policies, calling them a "scam." He aims to dismantle the Inflation Reduction Act, which has significantly funded clean energy projects, especially in Republican areas.

Despite Trump's intentions, rolling back these policies may face resistance from his own supporters who benefit from the investments. The clean energy sector has grown rapidly, with the U.S. now competing globally, particularly against China in renewable technologies.

Experts suggest that Trump's actions may not halt the global shift towards clean energy. The world is increasingly focused on renewable technologies, and many countries are advancing regardless of U.S. policy changes.
