"Brittany Kelm, a senior policy adviser for the National Energy Dominance Council, detailed in a podcast how the council works to advance fossil fuel projects."

"The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal and other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while simultaneously slowing down or blocking solar and wind projects.

Brittany Kelm, senior policy adviser for President Donald Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, detailed in an August podcast how she and the council work to advance fossil fuel projects. Trump established the committee in February with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum as its leader.

“We’re like this little tiger team, concierge, white glove service, essentially,” Kelm said. “We were put together very particularly with the president’s priorities in mind on energy. So keeping coal plants open, establishing critical mineral mining domestically and then that broader supply chain.”

Kelm did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
