The Trump administration's attempt to dismantle a leading climate research center reflects a broader pattern of regulatory uncertainty and politicization of science. If successful, it could slow climate research and delay the transition to renewable energy, potentially keeping fossil fuel prices higher for longer. For crypto miners, higher energy costs or stricter environmental regulations could squeeze margins, especially for those reliant on coal or natural gas.

Universities that operate the National Center for Atmospheric Research have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the centre from being dismantled.
