Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Policy rollback reduces compliance costs for fossil generators and may lift near-term earnings expectations for fossil-heavy utilities, potentially driving stock gains and broader energy exposure in the S&P 500; meanwhile, renewables could lag if policy tailwinds wane.
