The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States Center for Presidential Transition Partnership for Public Service 600 14th Street NW, Suite 600 Washington, DC 20005 Subjects: Energy and Climate Dear President Trump, Congratulations on your victory in the 2024 presidential election. Your triumph reflects the American people's will for a return to core values and common sense solutions. Thank you. There is no man-made climate emergency. Energy and energy by-products remain the foundation of the modern world and our national priorities. Our studies find that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide has no measureable effect on climate or weather events as alarmists erroneously claim. Instead, CO2 is a blessing for greening our planet, our food security, our farmers, and lower food prices. We support the following statements:
1) Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are the best and most affordable energy sources. 2) By-products from petroleum are essential in everything, including power plants. 3) Nuclear power will likely be the main energy source for the future. Version 241229a

4) Affordable and reliable electricity is the lifeblood of our nation. Its security must be given the highest attention and priority. 5) Carbon dioxide is the molecule of all life even at concentrations multiple times higher than today’s levels. May your presidency usher in an era of prosperity, security, and world peace. Sincerely, Proud American scientists, engineers, and citizens of the USA.
