Awesome: Trump Energy Pick Is A Big Fan Of Fossil Fuels, Think They’re Great At Eliminating Poverty

Sounds like a perfect pick

Trump energy pick wrote ESG report hailing oil, gas, downplaying climate worry

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the energy department believes fossil fuels are the key to ending world poverty which, he says, is a greater problem than climate change’s “distant” threat, according to a report he penned as CEO of oilfield services company Liberty Energy

In a corporate report released in February called ‘Bettering Human Lives,’ Chris Wright said that the energy transition has not begun and that climate change, while a challenge, is not the greatest threat to humans.

Poverty is a bigger threat that can be alleviated with access to hydrocarbons, said Wright, who started a foundation aimed at expanding propane cook stoves in developing countries.

Mainstream science conflicts with many opinions of the incoming top U.S. energy official, who will likely be zealous to carry out Trump’s agenda, maximizing already record-high domestic oil and gas production and withdrawing from international cooperation to avoid catastrophic climate change.

“Mainstream science” has been continuously wrong about ‘climate change’, and those same “mainstream scientists” use quite a bit of fossil fuels themselves. There’s nothing better for lifting people out of poverty than affordable, dependable, easily obtained energy, which is fossil fuels.

“The vibes will be better for the oil and gas industry,” Morgan Bazilian, director of the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines, said in an interview, adding the industry felt attacked by President Joe Biden’s climate policies.

Bazilian called Wright “a perfect example of this. He’s been outspoken on how the oil and gas industry has brought security and power and development to the United States, which is true. The other thing that’s true is that global emissions aren’t going down.”

You’d think that all those Warmists giving up their own use of fossil fuels would make a difference, right?
