55% : The "energy czar" job description is reminiscent of the White House Energy Task Force overseen by Vice President Dick Cheney during the George W. Bush administration, aimed at ensuring that fossil fuels would remain the United States' primary energy resources for "years down the road" and that the federal government's energy strategy would mainly aim to increase supply of fossil fuels, rather than limit demand.
48% : At the United Nations climate talks last year, the United States and nearly every other country agreed to transition away from fossil fuels, the burning of which is driving climate change.
