How Biden's Energy/Environmental Policy Could Impact US-Mexico-Canada Energy Trade | Energy Systems

Описание: According to the EIA, U.S. total energy exports exceed imports in 2019 for the first time in 67 years; and the U.S. will remain net exporter through 2050 as a result of increases in energy efficiency, growth in domestic oil and natural gas production, and slow growth in energy demand. How will the Biden administration’s environmental attitude adjust this trajectory and impact partnerships in North America? What is the tradeoff between energy independence in the region and the speed of the energy transition? What is the impact of a reduction of North American hydrocarbon exports on global politics? What can Biden do without the support of Congress and the lack of a “blue wave” in the 2020 election? Will Biden’s infrastructure development pledge impact the region or just the US? Do Canada, and to a lesser extent, Mexico have potential to provide significant future supplies of renewable electricity to U.S. markets, which could help the United States meet environmental policy objectives?

This discussion will attempt to outline the key issues and analyze the possibilities as Biden’s energy policy unfolds.
