“The National Energy Council will foster an unprecedented level of coordination among federal agencies to advance American energy. By establishing U.S. energy dominance, we can jumpstart our economy, drive down costs for consumers and generate billions in revenue to help reduce our deficit…Focusing on innovation over regulation to solve the nation’s challenges will allow us to smartly expand American energy and make our world cleaner and safer by selling energy to our friends and allies versus them having to buy it from our adversaries.” – Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary designate

In Episode 470 of District of Conservation, Gabriella discusses the selection of Lee Zeldin to lead EPA, Doug Burgum to lead Department of the Interior, and Chris Wright to helm Department of Energy.
