Tillerson and Musk are both very supportive of U.S. participation in the Paris climate accord, signed by 126 other nations. Musk, who joined Trump’s advisory team in December, and Tillerson could urge the president to keep the U.S. a signatory.

Both Tillerson and Musk have also endorsed the idea of a national carbon tax, with the hopes of encouraging individuals to drive less and businesses to invest in more sustainable forms of energy.

Oil corps. would probably even back that.

Trump could argue for US to be able to be self sustainable re energy it must reduce its consumption of hydrocarbons, and to stimulate this transition to Nationalist self sustenance, he temporarily introduces this fuel tax.
