Questions over the country’s energy future surfaced in the Presidential debate Sunday night. It was a surprising five minutes of policy discussion in a tense debate that focused on character attacks.
One thing we can say about this year’s presidential election, it’s not following the rules of the game. Take the oil and gas industry for example. Although Donald Trump is the keynote speaker at Pennsylvania’s annual Shale Insight conference this week, industry executives and employees have not been opening their wallets to the Republican nominee.
Donald Trump is wooing energy interests with support for oil and gas development, a rollback of federal regulations and a promise to bring back coal. His chief energy advisors are well-known in energy circles: North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer and Harold Hamm of Continental Resources.
Oil tycoon Harold Hamm told the Republican National Convention that Trump will make America energy independent.
With the help of a few more delegates from a handful of states, including North Dakota, Donald Trump finally gathered enough to clinch the republican nomination. And with that news, the official Republican Presidential nominee rolled into Bismarck, North Dakota on Thursday.
When it comes to energy, Donald Trump has left a lot to the imagination. But today he’s traveling to Bismarck, ND to address energy industry professionals from all across the country. Inside Energy’s Leigh Paterson reports.
The outlook for the North American coal sector is negative. That’s according to a bleak industry report released by the credit ratings agency Moody’s, on Friday.
