Trump selects oil CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as his pick 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 current Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who advocates for renewable energy sources. He is expected to focus on increasing oil and gas production and may oppose global climate cooperation. If confirmed, Wright will oversee U.S. energy policy, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and nuclear energy management. His views contrast sharply with the previous administration's emphasis on clean energy technologies.
