川普提名前得克萨斯州长佩里担任能源部长

发布时间：2016-12-23 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Perry, a staunch conservative, could shift the Department of Energy away from its recent focus on renewable energy, which President Barack Obama has championed, and back toward oil and fossil fuels, which Perry promoted in oil-rich Texas. Perry has been a vocal skeptic of man-made climate change, but during his tenure as governor turned Texas into a major producer of wind-powered energy.

In 2011, during his first unsuccessful bid for the presidency, Perry committed a political gaffe that diminished his chances in his race against Trump.

During a debate, Perry called for elimination of three federal government agencies - the Departments of Commerce and Education, and then couldn't remember the third, finally saying, "Oops." He later said Energy was the third agency he wanted to abolish.

For most of Tuesday, Trump continued to work in New York to fill his Cabinet before his inauguration on January 20, when Obama leaves office.

Media reports late Tuesday said Republican Congressman Ryan Zinke of Montana, a former Navy SEAL, was believed to be the president-elect's choice for Secretary of the Interior.

立场保守的佩里可能会改变奥巴马政府能源部的工作重点，从再生能源转向佩里在得克萨斯州推动的石油和矿物燃料。佩里对于人类活动造成气候变化的说法公开表示质疑，不过他担任州长期间，得克萨斯州成为主要的风能生产者。

佩里2011年参加共和党总统候选人提名时曾犯过严重的政治失误，降低了他在本次大选中战胜川普获得提名的机会。

当时佩里在一次辩论中主张取消三个联邦政府部门，一个是商务部，一个教育部，然后他支吾半天承认自己想不起第三个要取消的部门是什么，事后表示，他要取消的是能源部。

川普星期二大部分时间都在纽约忙于1月20号就职前完成内阁成员的任命。

媒体星期二报道说，前海军海豹特种部队成员、来自蒙大拿州的共和党众议员瑞安.金克据信会被提名为内政部长。
