This analysis argues that the current push for a green transition, particularly in the United States, is facing significant headwinds. The primary obstacles identified are a quadrupling of financing costs due to broader economic shifts, a lack of government financial support compared to previous administrations, and most critically, steep tariffs on key green technologies like solar panels and batteries, which are largely manufactured in China. These combined factors are making projects in wind (to a lesser extent), solar, and battery storage financially unviable for many, effectively slowing the pace of adopting renewable energy solutions for the foreseeable future.
