"Trump Considers ‘Energy Czar’ Post"

"A White House energy post could coordinate policy across the government."

"President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing a White House “energy czar” to coordinate the incoming administration’s energy policies across the administration, according to two people with knowledge of the transition.

The role could be one of several policy “czars” in the White House under Trump, who has stressed that slashing energy regulations and boosting fossil fuel production are among his top priorities. It could also signal the incoming administration intends to centralize power in the White House as opposed to delegating policy work to departments.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a Trump loyalist who was on the president-elect’s shortlist for vice president, is viewed as a possible energy czar, said the people with knowledge of the transition who were granted anonymity to discuss personnel decisions."
