Key excerpts:
In a media briefing Monday, the group said it will be tracking hearings on Doug Burgum, a former GOP governor from North Dakota. The Donald Trump-selected nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Interior and the newly-formed National Energy Council hails from an oil and gas rich state. It is the nation’s third largest producer of crude oil in the country. He pioneered a program that gives North Dakota supremacy over carbon capture wells, the first state in the nation to do so. He also had a goal to make North Dakota carbon neutral by 2030.
He has a scheduled hearing Thursday before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, after being moved from a Tuesday slot.
The group is also tracking Chris Wright’s nomination to lead the U.S. Department of Energy. The oil industry executive is likely to get strong pushback from Democrats and conservation groups. Wright, however, has served on the board of Oklo, a California developer of small modular nuclear reactors. Advanced nuclear technologies have enjoyed bipartisan support in three different presidential administrations, with a global race on to get them deployed and generating energy. Wright has a hearing Wednesday before a Senate committee.
Another nominee being closely watched is Lee Zeldin, tapped by Trump to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Zeldin, a former GOP congressman from New York, backed Trump’s exit from the Paris Climate Accord. He has vowed to roll back regulations that he asserts stymie U.S. global energy independence. Zeldin, while in Congress, strongly advocated for tighter scrutiny of PFAS, or forever chemicals. Zeldin’s hearing is Thursday.
“We’re looking forward to hearing more this week, particularly with how the administration may take advantage of bipartisan policies and bipartisan investments that have been put in place over the last five years or so,” said Evan Chapman, senior director of policy for Clean Tomorrow. “Clean energy and energy growth is not a partisan issue here, and we’re excited about the opportunities that will be presented over the next couple years.”
Chapman cited Wright’s experience in working with “cutting edge clean technologies” and involvement in helping the DOE bring clean tech innovation to a commercial scale.
