Trump appoints fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Chris Wright, a fossil fuel executive and campaign donor, as his energy secretary for a second term. Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy and supports oil and gas development, including fracking. Wright's selection marks a shift back to pro-fossil fuel policies, aligning with Trump's goal of U.S. energy dominance. He has received backing from influential conservatives, including oil tycoon Harold Hamm. Wright has been critical of climate change initiatives and may push to resume natural gas export approvals halted by the Biden administration.
