President-elect Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as his Energy Secretary. Wright is a strong advocate for fossil fuel usage and is expected to support Trump’s plans to maximize oil and gas production while boosting electricity generation amid rising demand. He has criticized climate change activists, labeling their concerns as alarmist, and has publicly stated there is no climate crisis. With no political experience, Wright has authored multiple pieces arguing for increased fossil fuel production as a means to alleviate poverty.
