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.
“But Biden didn’t redo the entire electrical grid, the entire energy system, and the entire vehicle fleet in one fell swoop! Both sides same!”
