President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to install an "energy czar" to scale back energy and climate regulations implemented under the Biden administration.

Six sources familiar with Trump's transition team told the New York Times that a series of executive orders and presidential proclamations have been drafted related to climate and energy, aimed at rolling back Biden-era clean energy regulations that some critics argue have hurt the economy.

Other plans Trump and his transition team are reportedly discussing include installing an "energy czar" to help cut regulations on domestic energy production and potentially moving the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) headquarters outside of Washington, D.C.

"The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail," Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital when asked to confirm the details about Trump's reported plans. "He will deliver."

This should be vetted very carefully before considering Burgum.

If he wants someone from ND who really helped make the Bakken Boom happen, I'd look at Lynn Helms, recently retired head of the Oil and Gas Division at the NDIC.
