But Cook’s appointment also comes as Zeldin and Trump downplay the urgency of climate change and make allowances for industries that rely on planet-warming fossil fuels.

The government also hopes that the project, to provide solar panels for 200 schools and 200 hospitals, will reduce the use of fossil fuels across public property and help achieve its long-term climate goals.
