密歇根新闻广播 特朗普若撤回在气候变化上所做的努力 将会是全球悲剧

 

Energy policy will change under the new administration and state policies in places such as Michigan are more likely to look like Trump¹ policies than Obama polices. That's the opinion of Mark A. Barteau, the director of the University of Michigan Energy Institute.

Trump has made clear statements that he believes climate change is a hoax² and he plans to dismantle³ the Obama administration's energy policies. This will affect gas and oil production. Trump has also said he'll bring "clean coal" production back, but it's not certain there is market demand.

Barteau joined Stateside to try to discuss these issues. He wrote a piece for The Conversation this week about what the country will likely see regarding a Donald Trump presidency⁴ and energy policy.

Listen to the full interview to hear why Barteau believes Trump could have a hard time getting some of his proposals implemented⁵, and why the new administration's approach to the environment makes him "ashamed to be an American."
