Burgum Appointed as Trump's Energy Czar and Interior Chief

President-elect Trump has appointed North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as both Secretary of the Interior and Chairman of the newly formed National Energy Council. This council aims to streamline energy production and regulation across the U.S. government, promoting energy dominance through reduced regulation and increased private investment. Burgum, known for his energy expertise, will also join the National Security Council. As governor, he advocated for net-zero emissions through carbon capture technology, despite North Dakota's significant fossil fuel production.
