In this presentation, Brad Anderson, World Kinect Senior Manager of Regulatory Operations in North America, breaks down the major shifts underway in U.S. energy policy. Federal incentives are moving away from wind and solar and toward fossil fuel production, industrial growth, and data‑center‑driven demand. He outlines how new permitting reforms, evolving tax credit timelines, and the administration’s deregulatory agenda are reshaping project economics and infrastructure development. Brad also highlights the resilience of renewables due to cost and deployment advantages, the rapid expansion of natural gas capacity, and divergent utility strategies. The session closes with a look at state‑level decarbonization efforts and the critical need for long‑term resource adequacy planning.
