The world needs more planet-heating fossil fuel, not less, Donald Trump’s newly appointed energy secretary, Chris Wright, told oil and gas bigwigs on Monday.
“We are unabashedly pursuing a policy of more American energy production and infrastructure, not less,” he said in the opening plenary talk of CERAWeek, a swanky annual conference in Houston, Texas, led by the financial firm S&P Global.
Wright, a former fracking executive who was picked by Trump to the crucial cabinet position, also attacked the Joe Biden administration for focusing “myopically on climate change”.
I’d have to go from 10$ month for charging my car to paying a 100$ a month. No thanks.

In a just world every oil executive would get a bullet in the head
It’ll be hard not to shed a tear when they start pillaging Alaska for more oil reserves. It’s already devastating seeing what’s happening to the national parks. The one good fucking thing the US has managed to keep is our national parks intact and I’m really gonna hate seeing that fall apart. We have some beautiful land here that I’m sure some billionaires would love to turn into their vacation homes
Lord, we don’t any windmills
There are windmills and turbines enough to turn
There are panels and hydros enough to burn, enough to last, ‘til the end of time
What the world needs now, is gas, sweet gas
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
With deep apologies to Hal David
They’re going to end not just all of us, but humanity. They have to be stopped.
Also, remember how much they hated Greta Thunberg? :(
If I was a doctor, I’d say that Trump has a severe case of ODD. It’s very, very obvious that he’s doing these things because someone else said the opposite.

Well that’s funny considering US drilling and oil production ramped up to an all-time high under Biden.

Hilariously enough - this’ll likely blow the bottom out of the oil market and end up hurting those companies.
Remember how gas use plummeted during the pandemic and prices really didn’t?
They’ll just do that again
What the world needs now is less US, the world decided.
“I just want to push the world further into a catastrophic event! What’s the big deal?!”
We’re fucked aren’t we?
Yes, but at least we have petroleum jelly to make it a little less painful.
America: produces more oil than ever before and more than basically every other country
GOP: that’s not enough!
They are so transparently stupid and vile at this point that I’m not going to get emotionally invested any longer. Just remember that it was these assholes and the assholes that voted them in when the planet is dying.

Maybe they’re just secretly radically pro-Canadian. Canada is one of the few countries that’s expected to economically-benefit on the net from global warming.
They’re openly radically pro-Russian.
Unfortunately that’s the kind of damage that can’t be undone in 4 years.
I’m so happy my wife and I don’t have kids, and I feel sorry for all my friends. It was a fun ride.
Same. I also feel bad for my two nephews who are both in their 20’s. One of them used to talk about raising a family & being a stay at home dad. He hasn’t talked like that in about 5 years now.
My nephew, who’s 22, is having a kid. It was planned with his girlfriend. I was shocked when I heard.
Same here.
Yeah! We can really rub it in their faces while we all die!
I was actually thinking of doing some extra-hard rubbing right before I die.
Since when is solar and wind power “less energy”?
A Harbor Freight solar panel produces 500 watts per day.
A coal plant makes 50 megawatts per day.
Therefore, fossil fuels are better. Checkmate, green energy!
I can’t feel the cancererous tumors developing when I use solar and wind so it must be an inferior power source
They’re gonna Blade Runner 2049 this bitch.
