Senate committee rooms on Capitol Hill are buzzing with activity this week as President Trump picks a number of Cabinet positions. Three key hearings on climate and energy policy were with the EPA's Lee Zeldin, the Interior Department's Doug Burgum and the Energy Department's Chris Wright. We hope you'll be able to cover Heartland's two three-hour “watch parties” in full this week, but there's more to delve into. What do the hearing performances of Trump’s picks say about how they will carry out their duties? Which of these three federal agencies needs the most effort to change its purpose? Will these appointments succeed in implementing Trump's agenda in the face of an entrenched federal bureaucracy opposed to nearly all of Trump's major climate and energy goals?
Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will explore this topic in more depth. Plus, we'll take a look back at some of the crazy climate news from the week, including the deep freeze looming for much of the continental United States.
