Trump nominates oil CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as his nominee for Energy Secretary. Wright is known for his strong support of fossil fuels and has criticized climate change initiatives. Wright's appointment marks a shift from outgoing Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who advocated for renewable energy sources. He is expected to focus on increasing oil and gas production and may oppose global climate agreements. If confirmed, Wright will oversee U.S. energy policy, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and nuclear energy management. His views on energy differ significantly from those of the previous administration.
