The world needs more planet-heating fossil fuel, not less, Donald Trump’s newly appointed energy secretary, Chris Wright, told oil and gas bigwigs on Monday.
“We are unabashedly pursuing a policy of more American energy production and infrastructure, not less,” he said in the opening plenary talk of CERAWeek, a swanky annual conference in Houston, Texas, led by the financial firm S&P Global.
Wright, a former fracking executive who was picked by Trump to the crucial cabinet position, also attacked the Joe Biden administration for focusing “myopically on climate change”.
We’re fucked aren’t we?
Yes, but at least we have petroleum jelly to make it a little less painful.

Since when is solar and wind power “less energy”?
They’re gonna Blade Runner 2049 this bitch.
A Harbor Freight solar panel produces 500 watts per day.
A coal plant makes 50 megawatts per day.
Therefore, fossil fuels are better. Checkmate, green energy!
If I was a doctor, I’d say that Trump has a severe case of ODD. It’s very, very obvious that he’s doing these things because someone else said the opposite.

In a just world every oil executive would get a bullet in the head
America: produces more oil than ever before and more than basically every other country
GOP: that’s not enough!
Hilariously enough - this’ll likely blow the bottom out of the oil market and end up hurting those companies.
Remember how gas use plummeted during the pandemic and prices really didn’t?
They’ll just do that again
Lord, we don’t any windmills
There are windmills and turbines enough to turn
There are panels and hydros enough to burn, enough to last, ‘til the end of time
What the world needs now, is gas, sweet gas
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
With deep apologies to Hal David
