“We can’t let Big Oil make private profits off our public lands.”
Sen. Ed Markey condemned President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to lead the Interior Department, calling attention to his longstanding ties with the oil industry.
“We can’t let Big Oil make private profits off our public lands,” Markey wrote on X. “We should be building a clean energy future—not creating a Cartel Cabinet.”
The Massachusetts senator continued, pledging to do everything possible to protect the planet from powerful oil executives.
