Trump nominates oil executive 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 the current administration's focus on renewable energy. He is expected to promote increased oil and gas production and oppose global climate agreements. If confirmed, Wright will replace Jennifer Granholm, who advocated for electric vehicles and renewable energy. He will oversee energy diplomacy, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and nuclear energy management.
