Republican presidential candidate and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said Monday he would not accept the offer of energy secretary from a future GOP president.
Mr. Burgum, a billionaire entrepreneur who’s made U.S. energy production a pillar of his campaign, made the case that he should be the one picking people for his Cabinet rather than serving someone else’s administration.
Then-Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 against Donald Trump and others, went on to serve as Mr. Trump’s energy secretary despite having advocated the agency’s abolition. Currently serving his second term as governor, Mr. Burgum wants North Dakota to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 by relying on carbon capture, a method of capturing emissions and storing them underground.
