Trump’s bold take on climate week, Another BP walkback, solar plant shutdown | BDE 09.26.25
Trump’s Climate Week speech was anything but subtle, and the Big Digital Energy crew had plenty to say about it. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark break down his unapologetic shots at global green agendas, the messy reality of rushing energy transitions, and what it all means for regular people facing rising energy costs. They don’t shy away from calling out China and India’s emissions role, questioning high-profile renewable failures like the Mojave solar plant, and unpacking the politics of energy independence. It’s a mix of sharp analysis, fiery takes, and plenty of laughs, the kind of conversation where climate policy, energy security, and everyday impact all collide in classic Big Digital Energy fashion.
