Arguably the American economic miracle was built on a foundation of cheap energy and low government regulation. Trump seems to be trying to get us back to both.
It could also be a statement of how highly the fortunes of Saudi Arabia are regarded. Since Exxon's joy and happiness depends on the House of Saud, it is unlikely that we will be putting up much resistance when the next Saudi-orchestrated attack on the USA comes.
A healthy oil industry would be a very good thing indeed.
If Trump were really trolling the libs on the SoS nomination, he would have nominated Palin.
Talk about exploding heads.
Energy has been so crippled over the last 20 years by government, it is basically an invisible tax on everyone, especially the poorest.
I hope it is the direction of efficient energy. Texas funded wind turbines and build a huge transmission line to nowhere for the renewable energy while Perry was governor. I am hearing Tillerson is for carbon tax and acknowledged global warming is man made. How much of that is political gaming to keep environmentalist off the back of Exxon? I hope much of it is. In Texas, the governor doesn’t have much power but he does have influence. There is so much potential money in renewables that I am concerned the politicians will not go in a more solid direction However, the money isn’t there without lots of government involvement.
If they can find a way to re-educate those in Congress to grow up and quit acting like spoiled childish brats.
Depends on whether they want energy; or whether they want oil, coal, nuclear, hydro-power, geothermal, solar, or wind.
