Part 3/6:
Both O'Reilly and Muckerman acknowledged Trump's pro-fracking stance and how it resonates with a certain segment of the energy market. However, Muckerman pointed out that not everyone supports coal, which Trump seems to champion as a vital part of the American energy strategy. In contrast, the industry is seeing a decline in coal usage as natural gas and renewables rise in prominence. The conversation shifted to the global perspective, with Muckerman referencing experts who claim that China's carbon emissions have peaked, and the country is advancing towards renewable energy sources, thereby reducing its coal dependency.
