Donald Trump Nominates Chris Wright as U.S. Energy Secretary Amid Controversy
Former President Donald Trump has announced the nomination of oil executive Chris Wright as U.S. Energy Secretary. Wright, a climate change skeptic, has made headlines for drinking fracking fluid on camera to demonstrate its safety. If confirmed, he is expected to push for a significant shift toward fossil fuels in U.S. energy policy, moving away from renewable energy initiatives and potentially withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement.
