Summary

Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, including Chris Wright for energy secretary, Lee Zeldin for EPA head, and Doug Burgum for interior secretary, reflect a strong pro-fossil fuel stance and skepticism or outright denial of climate science.

Wright, a fossil fuel executive and climate change denier, exemplifies the administration’s alignment with Project 2025, a plan to dismantle environmental protections.

Critics warn these appointments will stall clean energy progress and weaken air and water protections.

Trump’s choices signal a rollback of climate action despite global momentum toward renewable energy investments.

There isn't a logical explanation for the DNC's behavior except that they'd rather have a republican president then a progressive Dem.

The people running the party (and definitely the ones funding it) don't have the same goals as the people voting for the party.

And enough voters can smell that, that we now have to deal with four years of trump
