Overview

• In an Axios interview published Wednesday, Gore said President Trump is “more loaded for bear this time around” and accused him of waging a “jihad” against the sustainability transition.
• Gore discussed a new Generation Investment Management report that finds the energy transition has slowed but remains on track due to falling costs for renewables and batteries.
• He argued the main risk is a delay that worsens climate damage, not ultimate failure of the transition.
• Gore noted most emissions growth and clean‑tech deployment are occurring outside the United States, citing China’s rapid renewable buildout alongside ongoing coal construction.
• Coverage also highlighted a J.P. Morgan warning of a “new energy security age,” while right‑leaning outlets tied Gore’s language to renewed rhetoric debates after the Charlie Kirk assassination and revisited criticism of his fund’s investments.
