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 even got a post removed from Lemmy earlier today because it included a ‘call for violence’ against Trump and Leon.

    But, I didn’t get banned, so that’s a plus.

    On the OP’s topic–is anyone in the world really gonna feel bereft if a total cunt like this Chris Wright guy goes missing?
