The Trump administration's energy policy has systematically slowed the development of renewable energy in the United States while backing the oil and coal industries. This orientation now exposes the country to heightened vulnerability to geopolitical shocks. The U.S. president acknowledged this week that military strikes against Iran would likely drive up oil prices. The average price of gasoline surged 11 cents across the United States in a single night, and experts estimate that crude oil could reach $100 a barrel.
