Markey, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) today reintroduced the <em>Banning In Government Oil Industry Lobbyists (BIG OIL) from the Cabinet Act, <\/em>which would prohibit the appointment of executive officers and lobbyists of fossil fuel entities or trade associations as the heads or political appointees of certain government departments that work on issues related to American energy policy for a 10-year period. This includes Trump\u2019s nominee for Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, whose Wednesday hearing reinforced his many conflicts of interest from leading multiple oil and gas companies focused on fracking\u2014most recently, as CEO of Liberty Energy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump isn\u2019t building a cabinet, he\u2019s installing a cartel,\u201d <strong>dijo el senador Markey<\/strong>. \u201cBig Oil executives and fossil fuel lobbyists shouldn\u2019t be able to turn public agencies into private profit machines for fossil fuel shareholders. This is a clear ethical line\u2014their work polluting our environment, destroying our climate, and prioritizing corporate profits over democracy must not be rewarded with even more power over the very safeguards set to protect American households from their influence. Especially in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires and more frequent and dangerous disasters fueled by climate change, we can&#8217;t afford to have a fossil fuel CEO like Chris Wright help the industry capture our federal agencies further for oil profits. We must have government agencies helmed by responsible, qualified executives without blatant conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cClimate chaos fueled by dirty energy is humanity&#8217;s greatest challenge, and Trump wants to make sure we fail that challenge by handing our government over to Big Oil. Let\u2019s pass this bill and get fossil fuel executives and their ill-gotten bucks out of our government,\u201d<strong> dijo el senador Merkley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe fossil fuel revolving door has dominated American energy policy for decades and could poison our environment for centuries to come. Oil and gas companies cannot be allowed to regulate themselves and use the government to guarantee their profits. The <em>BIG OIL from the Cabinet Act<\/em> is a crucial step in returning control of our climate to the American people,\u201d <strong>said Drew Guillory, Policy Advisor for Food and Water Watch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cLos Angeles is on fire. Asheville is just starting to rebuild. The climate crisis is here and it&#8217;s happening because oil and gas CEOs disregarded science and chose to keep burning fossil fuels. They chose to sacrifice millions of homes and lives so they could keep profiting. Those same people should not be in charge of creating energy policy,\u201d <strong>said Aru Shiney-Ajay, Executive Director of Sunrise Movement<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe fossil fuel industry is notorious for spending millions of dollars to delay climate action and undermine progress on environmental justice.
