President Donald Trump not only has named North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as the next Department of Interior Secretary, he has now named him chairman of a newly formed National Energy Council.
The council will touch all departments and agencies “involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation, of ALL forms of American Energy,” Trump said. “This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation. With U.S. Energy Dominance, we will drive down Inflation, win the A.I. arms race with China (and others), and expand American Diplomatic Power to end Wars all across the World.”
Trump continued in his announcement talking about the radical Left’s war on American energy, which has forced the nation’s allies to buy from adversaries, who are using the proceeds to fund war and terrorism.
“As Chairman of the National Energy Council, Doug will have a seat on the National Security Council. As Secretary of the Interior, Doug will be a key leader in ushering in a new ‘Golden Age of American Prosperity’ and World Peace. The Biden-Harris Administration has driven our National Debt to a record $36 TRILLION DOLLARS. Yet America is blessed with vast amounts of ‘Liquid Gold’ and other valuable Minerals and Resources, right beneath our feet. We will ‘DRILL BABY DRILL,’ expand ALL forms of Energy production to grow our Economy, and create good-paying jobs. By smartly utilizing our amazing National Assets, we will preserve and protect our most beautiful places, AND reduce our deficits and our debt!” he wrote.
He also said that his administration will work to undo damage done by Democrats to the nation’s energy grid, and increase power, reduce cost of electricity, and ensure there is power without the fear of blackouts and brownouts.
He said America will win “the battle for A.I. superiority, which is key to National Security and our Nation’s Prosperity. Doug Burgum will protect our Nation’s Natural Resources, restore our fabulous Oil and Gas advantage, and Make America, and its Energy, Dominant and Great Again!”
This might be a big disappointment to Mike Dunleavy, but Alaskans know he doesn’t know squat about how to run national energy policy and production or anything similar. IF Trump gives him a job in his orbit, it should be something along the lines of front desk reception at his Palm Beach Mar a Lago club. I’d give him a mediocre reference for this type of work.
Given Dunleavy’s stature, a bouncer would be an appropriate position.
Trump could have Dunleavy replace Sam Brinton as Secretary of Nuclear waste. Dunleavy doesn’t dress like animals or steal women’s luggage.
Maybe Trump will have him open “immigrant” employment centers around the country….Dunleavy is truly a disgrace.
You have to read the bio of Doug Burgum. It says he agreed to the North Dakota native communities to have “consolation” before any decision was made on drilling for oil in ND. Read between the lines and research how did the natives of ND profit from oil drilling in ND? Alaskan native have been wanting to control Alaska lands now for decades, for profit. We will be getting hosed again. While a group of Alaskans profit.
Governor Burgum will be a very busy man. Not only will he be Secretary of Interior, he will also Chair of the National Energy Council plus have a seat on the National Security Council.
Those that were thinking of our Governor in the role of Interior Secretary, totally misjudged Trump’s mission. Trump’s nominees are totally committed to MAGA, loyal, hard working, innovative, and dedicated to restoring our government to the people. They are expected to act at warp speed. Also be tireless and successful. And be keenly aware of DC political timelines and intrigue. The bottom line: Can anyone observing Alaska politics for the past few years conceive of our Governor fitting into this Trump dream team? No? Neither can Donald Trump.
Pebble Mine will be in production soon
Sure it will.
Build Susitna now, as long as we’re spitballing fantasy projects.
Pebble is foreign owned, Trump says America first.
Trump has also said. “Make Israel Great Again”, and judging by his recent Cabinet picks and other members of his administration, he is well on his way to fulfilling that promise. Of course, Miriam Adelson’s 100 million dollar PAC’s contribution to Trump’s campaign probably has something to do with that! Funny how such a large donation by an Israeli citizen hasn’t drawn the scrutiny of the FBI.
George Soros is a Hungarian citizen.
