In Malaysia's "Sunday Star" newspaper of 5th November 2017, it says, "WASHINGTON: Renewable energy continues to grow in the United States, despite US President Donald Trump's moves to dismantle clean power, deregulate industry and promote fossil fuels like coal, experts say.
Five months after Trump declared the United States would withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate accord, the Republican leader continues to unravel the environmental legacy of his predecessor, Democrat Barack Obama.
A signature piece of Trump's strategy has been to roll back regulations, including the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, which aimed to cut US emissions from power plants for the first time.
But many state and city governments have pressed on with their fight against climate change, and the job force of those working in renewable energies continues to expand nationwide.
"The trend is very clear," added Alden Meyer, director of strategy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "To fight Trump, the investment and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency have continued growing."
