President-elect Donald J. Trump announced that North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will lead the Interior Department and coordinate the administration's energy policy, focusing on fossil fuel production and reducing environmental regulations.
Mr. Burgum has been tasked with leading the National Energy Council, which will oversee the permitting, production, and regulation of all forms of energy in a push toward U.S. energy dominance.
The Council aims to simplify regulations and promote innovation in energy production, counter to the approach taken by the previous Democratic administration, which focused on reducing fossil fuel use.
Inspired by previous administrations that prioritized climate strategies, Trump's team emphasizes a more aggressive fossil fuel policy that contrasts sharply with efforts to promote renewable energy.
