Iran war and AI boom bolster clean energy case despite Trump curbs

The piece suggests that market forces and geopolitical pressures are overriding policy headwinds, though the exact trajectory of US energy policy remains uncertain. This matters because it signals a potential divergence between federal policy and actual energy investment trends, with implications for global energy markets and climate commitments.
