Summary
Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, including Chris Wright for energy secretary, Lee Zeldin for EPA head, and Doug Burgum for interior secretary, reflect a strong pro-fossil fuel stance and skepticism or outright denial of climate science.
Wright, a fossil fuel executive and climate change denier, exemplifies the administration’s alignment with Project 2025, a plan to dismantle environmental protections.
Critics warn these appointments will stall clean energy progress and weaken air and water protections.
Trump’s choices signal a rollback of climate action despite global momentum toward renewable energy investments.
Really? Because I would say the unifying theme was fascism and this was just a bonus for them.
