Trump nominates oil executive Chris Wright as energy secretary, sparking division over climate views

Donald Trump has nominated Chris Wright, an oil executive and climate change skeptic, as his energy secretary. Wright, who denies a climate crisis exists, will focus on reducing regulations to boost fossil fuel investment. Wright's appointment aligns with Trump's promise to enhance the domestic fossil fuel industry and roll back environmental regulations. He will work alongside North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who will oversee the energy sector. Wright's views contrast with those of some in the energy sector, including Trump's advisor Elon Musk. Trump's administration is also marked by other controversial nominations, including figures with little relevant experience.
