Shitstain's New Climate Guy 100% w/o Professional Energy Experience, Did Work In Dad's Gas Station
EDIT
Griffith's time at his dad's gas station is about all the energy experience he had until this past year, when he landed a top political job at the Energy Department after working on the Trump campaign. An industry source called his literacy on energy issues "a work in progress." Those who work in the international climate space said his views are a mystery.
Looking across the administration, though, there aren't many officials who have breadth of expertise with demonstrated commitment to Trump world, sources said. In a period of significant personnel fluctuation, Trump has shown a propensity to go with familiar faces. That has accelerated the fast rise for the young, mid-30s Republican operative and former congressional candidate. While he's learned on the job at the Energy Department, where he's been for more than a year, those who have collaborated with Griffith say he is analytical, a good listener and a quick study.
EDIT
For that, Griffith was rewarded with an administration post. While he had no professional energy experience, he landed at DOE as a liaison to the White House. He was part of the network of political aides guiding personnel decisions at individual agencies early in the administration that frustrated top officials within those departments.
Eventually, Griffith found his way to an open desk at DOE's Office of International Affairs — and ended up running it in the absence of a nominee. While there, he helped negotiate with countries around the world, including an agreement to send 700,000 metric tons of coal from Pennsylvania to Ukraine (Climatewire, Aug. 1, 2017). It's from that post that he will make the jump to the White House.
