Doug Burgum, a key ally of the fossil fuel industry, has been selected by President-elect Trump to lead the Interior Department, thus influencing federal land policy significantly.
Burgum’s connection to oil billionaire Harold Hamm will ensure that Hamm has substantial influence over drilling policies on public lands, aligning with Trump's energy agenda.
Burgum and Hamm are pushing for repeals of electric vehicle tax credits as part of their effort to reshape Trump’s energy policy during the transition.
Burgum criticized the Biden administration during a fundraiser, suggesting Trump could quickly act to increase the use of 'liquid fuels,' highlighting the perceived anti-energy sentiment of his predecessor.
