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.

Do like the Dems and threaten to withhold federal funds for any school showing Algores movie or pushing the hoax on students
Is Hillary also tapping a climate change skeptic, fracking advocate as key energy advisor? I thought Trump was the same as Hillary. smh.
“Shooting for a 57-state sweep in November.”
We could loose a few and still not have to change the history books.
Try this: When it comes to investing in beaten down energy stocks, I WOULDN’T hit it.
there is hope after all.....Now hopefully he can beat Hillary
B-But we were told Trump is a not a real conservative!!!
”… who hope Trump will open more federal [emphasis added] land for drilling,"
Real estate expert Trump needs to question the history of all federal land to make sure that the feds acquired the land in compliance with constitutional restraints, Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I, or the eminent domain provision of the 5th Amendment as examples.
"Cramer said in an interview his paper would emphasize the dangers of foreign ownership of U.S. energy assets, burdensome taxes, and over-regulation."
Although I’m not convinced that Trump is aware of the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, it sounds like Trump is at least going in the right direction with these issues with respect to those limited powers.
Good
We can be energy independent and exporters and be good stewards of God's planet that he entrusted in us better than anyone can.
Make America Great Again!

Excellent.
Now all he’s got to do is to begin drafting the executive order disbanding the EPA.

Yes, that is a good start.
Also reign in the DOT, keeping it at least 10th amendment compliant.
And the DOE
“The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with advancing the national, economic, and energy security of the United States; promoting scientific and technological innovation in support of that mission...”
Which means stop oppressing Oil and Coal production!
Libs heads exploding.
That’s going to be a B-I-I-I-G job! He has to strategically place people with full authority to do this, ruthless people.
Civil service jobs are protected, of course, but by going after those people and jobs who serve and exist at the pleasure of the President should take top priority in his new administration.
It is that important!
CA....
The new Obamacore math.
“And the DOE”
Put Palin in charge of DOE with a goal to close its doors in a few months.
#NeverTrumpettes fall in behind Al Gore and Bill Nye in 5,4,3...
What a lovely sight to see.
And I hope it it keeps happening!
