"Trump Hates Hair Spray Regs. But Does He Have An Energy Policy?"

"Donald Trump is loaded. He has 673 delegates, billions of dollars and a gun permit. But he doesn't seem to have a coherent policy on energy and climate.

Trump to this point has offered campaign pitches rather than policy positions on issues related to greenhouse gases, fossil fuel development and renewable electricity. It appears that the Republican front-runner hasn't hired a top energy adviser, according to multiple GOP analysts who work on the issue.

"I haven't seen any evidence that he's got somebody working with him directly on energy policy," said George "David" Banks, a former climate aide in the George W. Bush administration. "At some point, look, he's going to have to do that.""
