With the 2020 presidential election right around the corner, ADI Analytics has summarized the proposed energy policies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Our summary is based on the candidates’ energy policies from their websites and comments on energy issues from interviews and speeches.
To the extent possible, policy proposals have been summarized in the candidate’s own words. Finally, our goal here is not to analyze the relevance or feasibility of the candidates’ energy policies but instead provide a factual summary of their energy proposals. Sources are available through the download at the bottom of the article.
