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”.
The clown show continues.
The clowning will continue until morale hits rock bottom
We’re fucked aren’t we?
Yes, but at least we have petroleum jelly to make it a little less painful.

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

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

Since when is solar and wind power “less energy”?
I can’t feel the cancererous tumors developing when I use solar and wind so it must be an inferior power source
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!
Fossil fuels are renewable too… just not in the timescale that works for humanity
In a just world every oil executive would get a bullet in the head
America: produces more oil than ever before and more than basically every other country
GOP: that’s not enough!
I’d have to go from 10$ month for charging my car to paying a 100$ a month. No thanks.
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
