Global Investment in Renewables Shows Resilience Despite US Policy Headwinds
Global investments in green energy are up by 10% despite the Trump administration’s considerable efforts to roll back American clean energy. Since his election, President Donald Trump has rescinded dozens of renewable energy policies set by the previous administration, denying America’s fledgling clean energy industry the policy and financial support it needs to grow.
In recent months, his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” dealt a potential death blow to renewable energy by accelerating the expiration dates of numerous green energy tax incentives to September 30.
Even so, global clean energy investments have increased by 10% from 2024, a clear indication that the renewable energy industry is still resilient and strong despite the headwinds from Washington. As the largest and undoubtedly most influential economy in the world, the U.S. has been at the forefront of many social and industrial upheavals, such as its role in the development of the internet and social media.
But this time, the world isn’t following America’s lead as it turns away from clean energy and chooses instead to cling to fossil fuels. While the White House has distanced itself from renewables and doubled down on fossil fuels, the global green transition is still going strong.
Renewable energy investments climbed to a record $386 billion in the first six months of 2025, a 10% increase from the first half of the previous year. Experts predict that total global investments in energy will reach around $3.3 trillion in 2025, with $2.2 trillion going into low-carbon energy sources and $1.1 trillion flowing into fossil fuels.
Zero Carbon Analytics recently published a report showing that in spite of the political headwinds renewable energy has faced, there has not been a significant reduction in the pace of growth in green energy investments. Compared to the 10% increase registered between the first half of 2024 and 2025, the rate of increase in renewable investment was 17% from 2022 to 2023 and 12% from 2023 to 2024.
Research analyst Joanne Bentley-McKune says the data shows that the renewable energy industry “still has momentum” and an underlying robustness that is difficult to undermine. Even though the rate of growth has slowed slightly in recent years, the research analyst explains that the decline aligns with the average rate of growth seen over the last three years.
She further notes that renewable energy could be far more resilient than earlier expectations suggested. When combined with surging investment in wind, solar, and transmission infrastructure, and with private companies and national governments doubling down on their climate targets, the trend is clear.
Clean energy is no longer just an alternative, it has become the central pillar of future global growth. The persistence of rising investment, even in the face of U.S. policy opposition, underscores a critical truth: the renewable energy transition is unstoppable, and the momentum behind it will continue to reshape global energy markets for decades to come.
If the U.S. continues to stall, it risks ceding technological leadership and future energy markets to Europe, China, and other regions that are moving decisively toward renewables. Complementary clean technologies like electric vehicles made by manufacturers like Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI) are surging ahead around the world in a clear sign that America’s hostile policies will be enough to derail the global transition.
