With Trump pivot back to pro-oil and gas policies, one renewable energy finds favor As promised, President Donald Trump began reversing the country's energy policies his first day in office with a spate of orders largely favoring oil, gas and coal.
Trump declared an energy emergency on Monday, and included geothermal heat as one of the domestic energy resources that could help ensure a reliable, diversified and affordable supply of energy.
Energy experts say that makes sense — geothermal energy makes electricity 24/7.
But there is one renewable energy that did find favor: geothermal.
Geothermal creates electricity cleanly by making steam from the Earth’s natural heat and using that steam to spin a turbine.
