Donald Trump radically changing direction on both climate and energy policy, by Benny Peiser.

[The nomination of Scott Pruitt] signals clearly that Donald Trump will radically change direction on both climate and energy policy, which will have huge ramifications both for the US and also internationally. European countries will think very hard before they decide to go it alone yet again.

The US is sitting on a hundred years worth of cheap oil and gas and I don’t see that this is going to change.

Trump is in all likelihood going to accelerate that, and any country that thinks they can go green and ignore cheap energy will suffer economically.

Hello? Anyone at home in Canberra with a mind to listen?
