Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, founder and CEO of Liberty Energy, as his pick for Secretary of Energy. Wright, known for his role in the American Shale Revolution, is a climate change skeptic who aims to increase fossil fuel production, reflecting Trump’s campaign promise of ‘drill, baby, drill.’ Wright will also serve on a new Council of National Energy, tasked with enhancing private sector investments and pursuing US energy dominance. Trump’s administration signals a continued focus on fossil fuels amidst a backdrop of environmental deregulation.
