Trump nominates Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, to be the new Secretary of Energy. Wright is known for his work in the fracking industry and will need Senate approval for the position. Wright will also join the National Energy Council, led by Interior Secretary-designate Doug Burgum. The council aims to reduce regulations and increase investments in oil and gas production. This nomination highlights Trump's focus on boosting oil and gas output, particularly through fracking, despite recent record oil production in the U.S. under the previous administration.
