Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has asked one of America's most ardent drilling advocates and climate change skeptics to help him draft his energy policy.
U.S. Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer of North Dakota - a major oil drilling state - is writing a white paper on energy policy for the New York billionaire, Cramer and sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Cramer was also among a group of Trump advisers who recently met with lawmakers from western energy states, who hope Trump will open more federal land for drilling, a lawmaker who took part in the meeting said.
Cramer said in an interview his paper would emphasize the dangers of foreign ownership of U.S. energy assets, burdensome taxes, and over-regulation. Trump will have an opportunity to float some of the ideas at an energy summit in Bismarck, North Dakota on May 26, Cramer said.

The Middle East (Saudi Arabia) will now join in fully the battle to put Trump down....
That isn’t ....probative, or indicative.
LINE went BK the other day. This is a deeply troubled space and is destined to stay so, IMHO. If they are valid bottom fishing candidates, they are only so for the very, very patient. Very. (oil reasonable smackdown day, as well, /CL off almost a buck earlier)
There are many more BKs to come in this space (fact) and IMO it is toxic. (opinion)
Correction...
“Trump appoints climate realist and energy expert for energy adviser.”
How refreshing! Go Trump.
“Cramer said he expected energy policy to be a vulnerability for Hillary Clinton...”
but, but, but she has a vagina....it’s the vagina’s turn, first the black guy, now the vagina...follow the script people...be historic...qualifications are so passé.
Yeah, I wish I could figure out which ones would survive. I’m not alone in that, I know.
BTU went toes up a month ago. Billion-dollar company, been around since 1883, or 133 years. Gone-ski.
