The former head of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission believes President Trump may be forced to ease his anti-renewable energy stance — driven by economic realities and pushback from within key industries.

While Trump remains focused on boosting fossil fuel production, he’s also committed to lowering consumer energy costs and expanding the domestic data center industry as part of a broader national security strategy.

To meet those goals, a more flexible approach to renewable energy may be unavoidable, says former FERC Chair Neil Chatterjee.

In a twist, Trump’s attempts to stall offshore wind development could be challenged — not by environmentalists, but by the oil and gas sector itself, which sees potential synergy and shared infrastructure.

💥💥Pakistan is undergoing major changes in its energy and trade policies. The government recently introduced a Rs50 billion subsidy for electricity users consuming up to 200 units per month, aiming to ease the financial strain on low-income households. This decision followed widespread backlash against a proposed 51% tariff hike, which was later reversed for protected consumers.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has imposed a 29% tariff on Pakistani exports, citing a trade surplus. In response, Pakistan is considering the import of U.S. crude oil to help balance trade relations and mitigate tariff pressures. The Reko Diq copper-gold project, partly funded by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, has also emerged as a key factor in ongoing tariff negotiations.
These shifts underline Pakistan's efforts to control domestic energy costs while carefully maneuvering through complex international trade challenges.
