RFA Welcomes National Energy Council, Doug Burgum as Chairman

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in addition to joining his administration as Interior Secretary, will chair the new National Energy Council. The following is a statement from Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper.

“We applaud the formation of the National Energy Council and the appointment of Governor Burgum as its chairman. He fully understands the importance of adopting an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes renewable fuels, carbon capture and sequestration, and other innovative approaches to energy and economic security. We look forward to working with him in this new capacity. For far too long, federal agencies have operated in siloes when it comes to energy policy and regulation—we are excited by the prospect of bringing better coordination and collaboration to these important issues.”
