Keep it simple: unless Trump is kicked out of power any meaningful change is unlikely
CCS technology may be currently used to say "look, clean coal!", but it's still useful and important for a low-carbon future.

It happened under Trump's tenure due to the economics of coal power and wind, despite his campaign promises to prop up coal and the phase out of wind power subsidies.
The reduction isn't even close to the scale of the cuts required to make meaningful progress on climate.
As someone earlier in the thread said, look how much progress has been made under a hostile policy regime. Imagine if there was actually a carbon tax and oil subsidies were transferred to clean tech.
Which let's be real is his only platform, so I'm willing to grant it
The other point is this relies on fracking, and the carbon intensity of fracking depends on the level of escaped Methane. It can actually be worse than coal. And Trump has just reversed a lot of the regulation which prevented venting of Methane from fracking sites.
What recent policies have been passed that you think should be lauded?
Unless we can point to a policy change then "Trump has to go for anything to happen" seems reasonable, doesn't it? If the gains are from coal's decline, it seems reasonable to be worried that won't be enough.
