Trump report touts oil and gas as 'energy security' amid US climate disasters

The document, which cost about $200,000, fails to mention either the realities of climate crisis or the downsides of the energy industry

The Trump administration's energy department is rolling out a lengthy report touting oil and gas as providing energy security and supporting our quality of life", without acknowledging that fossil fuels are the main cause of the climate crisis.

Released a month before the election, the report is strikingly at odds with the realities of climate change that the American public has been coping with over the past few months, from huge wildfires to destructive derecho storms and a series of intense hurricanes.
