But President Donald Trump’s new executive order this week could make qualifying for the credits even harder — potentially undermining billions in planned wind and solar development. POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down the politics behind the move, along with the legal and financial risks that follow.

    Is the nuclear comeback real or just talk?
    Jul 10 2025
    Nuclear power is enjoying a surge of bipartisan support in the U.S., fueled by rising energy demand and state climate goals. But despite the momentum, the industry itself may be nuclear’s biggest obstacle — a challenge that could shape the future of America’s power supply. POLITICO’s Debra Kahn looks at the growing political backing and the stubborn realities holding the sector back. Plus, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration promised to bring staffing levels up to meet the needs of the National Weather Service's local offices.

    Is the US ready for the next Texas-sized floods?

    Emergency response experts and climate scientists are warning that the devastating Texas floods last week are a warning sign: As climate disasters grow more intense and federal disaster infrastructure shrinks, communities across the country could be left dangerously exposed.
