I listened in horror today to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s confirmation hearing of Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the Department of the Interior.
The man is a slick talking corporate fossil energy press release.
The Senators are corrupt and ignorant economic cheerleaders.
The NY Times nailed the money quote:
Doug Burgum, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the Interior Department, said Thursday he viewed America’s public lands and waters as part of the country’s financial “balance sheet,” with potentially trillions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals waiting to be extracted beneath the surface.
We are truly fucked.
