President-elect Donald Trump has been as clear as he can be concerning his energy policy, and he is backing up his strategy with a number of his cabinet picks that'll have an influence on energy in general, and oil in particular.
What Trump wants to do is release the full potential of the U.S. oil and gas industry without the restrictions that have been holding it back for some time. He also has plans to put America first with his policy, and that means he isn't going to adhere to energy deals that put the country at a disadvantage because of its vast energy resources.
The men he has put in place to make his energy policy a reality are Rex Tillerson, Ryan Zinke, Rick Perry and Scott Pruitt. Pruitt will head up the EPA, Perry the Department of Energy, and Zinke the Department of the Interior. Tillerson will of course be Secretary of State.
