There may be no industry with more at stake with an Elizabeth Warren presidency than energy

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/26/energy-has-the-most-at-stake-with-an-elizabeth-warren-presidency.html

Key points from the link:

- Big changes could be coming for the energy sector if Elizabeth Warren wins the Democratic nomination.
- The Massachusetts Senator said in a September tweet that she would put a “total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands,” and that she would ban fracking everywhere.
- “The spectre of a possible Warren presidency has quickly become an area of concern,” Simmons Energy’s Ryan Todd said.
- An oil production slowdown in the United States could actually lead to a spike in oil and natural gas prices, which could help integrated giants like Exxon and Chevron, while hurting smaller exploration and production companies.
- Renewables could be a big winner in a Warren White House as the focus shifts to clean energy.
