Current Events > Trump selects Oil Exec (and one of largest donors) at head of Energy Secretary

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nominating someone who is in direct conflict and will likely destroy everything within whatever they are in charge of seems to continue being the goal.

----

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday named Chris Wright, head of a Denver-based oilfield service company who has disputed the role of climate change in causing extreme weather, to head the Energy Department.

Wright, a major Republican fundraiser, would be one of the loudest voices in the administration against the confirmed science that greenhouse gas emissions are raising the planets temperature and causing an upsurge in extreme weather. The Energy Department, which is tasked with maintaining the nations nuclear weapons stockpile, regulating everyday appliances and managing the national labs, will likely play a critical role supporting the fossil fuel industry under Trump.

During the Biden administration, the department helped dole out grants and loans to quicken the transition to low-carbon power something that Wright has called unnecessary.

In a video uploaded to LinkedIn last year, Chris Wright said: There is no climate crisis, and were not in the midst of an energy transition either.

You don't fuckin' say

Just keeps getting worse and worse. It's almost like most of us sane people expected shit like this.

But guys, now the gas will be so cheap!!

New Jersey has been in a drought all fall and is having more forest fires a while now, and these @#$# are going to do nothing to make things better...damn them all.

Like I said, all hail climate change! It'll bail us out of fascism sooner or later.

Its sad that Marco Rubio is like the best pick hes had. Just goes to show you how awful his picks have been.

Can't wait for them to go through with Vance's plan to cut electric vehicle subsidies but add subsidies for gas and diesel vehicles.

The DOE makes nukes.

Oh mah gaaaa.
What shockuuuuuu.

Going to miss the National Parks.

I didn't believe in any god or whatever and I definitely didn't believe in the anti christ but now I do. How do people not realize that everything he's doing is just THAT bad? It feels like he knows he's going to die at some point soon...

he just plans to take everyone else with him. It would be in his nature, wouldn't it? To leave this earth with everyone else living worse off.

Well, Rex Tillerson was Trump's most competent cabinet pick the first time around. So maybe this will turn out....ok
