President-elect Donald Trump made no secret during his campaigning that he doesn’t think the U.S. should take an aggressive stance on climate change. From leading chants of “drill, baby, drill” to frequently criticizing everything from wind turbines to electric vehicles, he appears poised to cast a shadow over the climate tech sector for the next four years. Or will he?
It’s hard to pinpoint his exact stance on climate change and technologies that serve to mitigate or adapt to it. What’s more, some of his proposed policies might stand to benefit climate tech broadly, even as they prop up oil and gas.
“If you deregulate and you ‘drill, baby, drill,’ you can get more natural gas and oil. You can also get heat like geothermal. You can potentially get geologic hydrogen,” Leonardo Banchik, investment director at Voyager Ventures, told TechCrunch.

Cornell University researchers have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver to specific locations -- in a tissue sample, for instance -- to take images and measure forces at the scale of some of the body's smallest structures.
The team's paper, "Magnetically Programmed Diffractive Robotics," was published in Science magazine. "A walking robot that's small enough to interact with and shape light effectively takes a microscope's lens and puts it directly into the microworld," said Paul McEuen, professor of physical science emeritus, who led the team.
