Trump selects fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary for second term

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, a fossil fuel executive and campaign donor, as his energy secretary for a second term. Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy and supports fracking, aligning with Trump's energy policies. Wright has backing from prominent conservatives, including oil tycoon Harold Hamm, who advised Trump during his first term. Hamm organized a recent event where Trump sought input from industry leaders on energy regulations. Wright is known for opposing climate change initiatives and may push for a quick end to the Biden administration's pause on natural gas export approvals.
