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.

“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.”
Wait.....I was told over and over and over again, that, “Trump is a big fat liberal”
Was I misled?
Exactly. Oh but I thought there was no difference between Trump and Hillary. Ted The Messiah Cruz couldn’t pick better people than Trump has tapped so far.
It would be fun to hear your impressions after the event.
Cheers...
I thought about attending. It’s only a 2 hour drive to Bismarck.
Was I misled?
Well, those saying it were mistaken. I don't think you were ever "mislead".
who hope Trump will open more federal land for drilling....For sale at market prices, I hope.
Mineral rights on those federal lands will go up for bids. That alone could raise billions of dollars.
Great news
As that Scientific guy said “Billions and Billions and billions.” How do we keep the bastards from stealing OUR G..Damn money?
“I don’t think you were ever “mislead”.”
< grin >
Before Trump is done he will not only be encouraging.. he'll blow LIBERAL minds completely.
The pendulum is about to swing 180 degrees in a positive direction.
All ANYONE needs to know about Trumps conservatism can be found in his kids, Trump is VERY CONSERVATIVE!!!! Yes he wants to save SS BUT WHY IN THE HELL is that such a crime in conservative circles I mean people have paid into this WITHOUT a choice their entire lives!!! Now there are other reasons people’s kids are getting SS I am not sure why or why some people are getting it having NOT paid into it, THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE ASAP!!!!! SS and Medicare have been a political nuclear weapon on pubbies for decades I say take it OFF THE TABLE!!! Very first ad last political cycle was LYIN RYAN pushing grandma off the cliff!!! TRUMP s just so much smarter than these asshats!!!!!
My prediction is that Trump will have a more conservative administration and more conservative successes than did Reagan. Nothing against Reagan but the issues and the times are lined up for just this occurrence. Neutering the whole of the entrenched political establishment has a lot to do with it. In a war of us against them, there are a whole lot more of us! And we are pissed!
