Oklahoma oilman Harold Hamm still thinks Donald Trump would be far better for the U.S. energy industry than Hillary Clinton. Maybe even resulting in U.S. energy independence in the next 6 years.
“Hillary Clinton wants to follow on with President Obama and basically discount what’s been given with this American renaissance,” he told CNBC in a recent interview. He was interviewed on “Squawk on the Street.”
The chairman and CEO of Continental Resources, now an advisor to the Trump campaign on energy policies, said U.S. energy independence could have been reached by 2020, but it’s been delayed by a few years because of the collapse in oil prices.
