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.

Good for him! So, far he’s making pretty great decisions.
No doubt, the “devastating nature of climate change” is one of the areas many of the Neocons like Paul Ryan have serious “disagreements” with Trump.
Two observations from the chart:
One: The warm periods are a lot more narrow than generally assumed.
Two: The mean temperature should be assumed 10 degrees below current.
The global climate change hoaxers should concentrate on finding what happened 1 to 3 million years ago that set off the ice ages. My guess is the Gulf Stream started to flow or something kicked off the El Ninos.
I swear, the man is truly brilliant!!!
But Trump isn’t a conservative!!!!!
Brilliant
I could learn to like this guy.
Ugh, I think I’m going to be sick...I can’t...get...that....visual...out...of...my....head....
“What’s causing this cycle?”
Not sure. It might have something to do with that glowing fusion reactor that is 93,000,000 miles away.
Sounds good to me.
LIKE!!!
Oh, the Middle East and China are already all-in on that battle...a lot of NeverTrump money originated there - the Bush money train.
As Bernie supporters this news is going to cause my aunt and uncle great anguish.
Their sons business in 100% dependent on servicing the fracking guys.
Now who should they support and vote for?
Human activity can affect local climate. For example, it is well documented that large cities are warmer (particularly at night) than undeveloped countryside because of the urban heat island effect. Materials that are commonly used in urban areas for pavement and roofs, such as concrete and asphalt, retain and radiate more heat.
Cumulatively, all human activity might have a negligible effect on global climate, but various cycles in that big burning ball in the sky have a much, much greater effect.
Well at least he didn’t tap Fiorina.
25 states mine coal Up to a few years ago it was one of our primary exports. Common sense is long over due
Sucks to be you right about now.
These are English words, but it's a foreign language.

Good.
President Trump needs to be prepared to root out the Marxists in the departments of Energy, Treasury, Education, Agriculture, Interior, EPA, and the rest. Obama has vermin throughout the federal government.
