Kleinman Center Supports Energy Policy Research

The Kleinman Center at the University of Pennsylvania offers various programs and grants to support students and faculty in energy management and policy, emphasizing hands-on projects and research collaboration. It focuses on addressing the energy transition through research on energy efficiency, decarbonization, and carbon dioxide removal, while advocating for innovative policies to combat climate change. In the political arena, former President Donald Trump criticizes the Biden administration's environmental policies, promoting a 'Drill, Baby, Drill' approach and vowing to streamline federal drilling permits if reelected. Conversely, over 200 former Republican officials have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the need for stable governance and protection of democratic institutions against Trump's agenda. Harris supports the Biden administration's clean energy initiatives, including rejoining the Paris Agreement and the Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly invests in clean energy. The stark contrast in energy policies between Trump and Harris highlights the broader national debate on climate and energy management as the election approaches.
