Donald Trump eyes Doug Burgum as new 'energy tsar' to slash regulations

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : Burgum was previously considered a top contender to be Trump's vice-president and was with Trump at his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday and on election night at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
48% : Burgum, a billionaire businessman who ran in the Republican primary race this year before endorsing Trump, is the president-elect's preferred candidate for the role, said people familiar with the discussions.
48% : The new energy tsar role and its powers are not yet finalised, but people familiar with the plans said it would co-ordinate Trump's deregulatory agenda across a patchwork of agencies including the Department of Energy, Department of Interior, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Environmental Protection Agency.
45% : Trump is weighing the reappointment of officials from his first term to senior energy roles as he looks to battle-hardened veterans to overhaul rules on everything from vehicle emissions to oil and gas leasing.
30% : In a sign Trump is prioritising experience in his second term, Brouillette, Bernhardt and Wheeler are all seen as contenders to return to their previous positions.
26% : Lumis, McGregor and Dabbar also did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the roles, but a spokesperson for the senator said she would work to help Trump roll back Biden's "egregious public lands policies".
16% : Trump has railed against the EPA's car emissions rules, calling them "the insane electric vehicle mandate", and is also likely to remove curbs on oil and gas drilling on federal lands.
