Trump selects fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as his energy secretary for a second term. Wright is a strong supporter of fossil fuels and fracking, aligning with Trump's goal of U.S. energy dominance. Wright's nomination has received backing from influential conservatives in the oil and gas industry. Critics, however, argue that his appointment could hinder efforts to address climate change and promote cleaner energy solutions. If confirmed, Wright will work alongside North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who is set to be interior secretary. Together, they will form a National Energy Council to advance Trump's energy policies.
