Democratic Win Set to Reshuffle U.S. Energy Policy

S. energy policies. Democrats in charge of both chambers of Congress and its key committees, Democratic governors in key data-center development states such as Ohio, Georgia, and Texas, a Democrat in Georgia's utilities regulator, and the first Democratic member of the Texas oil regulator since 1990 would seek to stymie the Trump Administration's pro-fossil fuel and unchecked data center expansion.

Investigations into oil deals involving the White House, including "the biggest oil deal in world history" in Venezuela, and the 'diesel deal' with Russia's Vladimir Putin on the eve of the elections are likely to be top of the agenda. Policy uncertainty at the federal level will increase, as Democrats are likely to attempt to bring back some clean energy tax credits.
