But who will buy and manage these stranded assets as the world transitions to a high-tech, net-zero emission environment?

The Biden presidency and the US in 2021: 

Donald Trump’s legal manoeuvres failed to affect the formal electoral vote count in each of the states. President-elect Joe Biden garnered 306 electoral votes, which is likely to be enough to ensure a formal declaration by Congress on 6 January. So what does this mean for the weeks, months and years ahead? Can we start to formulate a sense of what Biden’s America will look and feel like? And once the dust settles on this torrid political chapter, what else will be shaping the future for the US on every level from political to economic to social?
