Trump Taps Fracking CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary

In a bold move on November 19, 2024, Donald Trump nominated Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as the new U.S. Energy Secretary. A staunch fossil fuel advocate, Wright controversially declared “there is no climate crisis,” signaling a potential U.S. pivot back to oil, gas, and nuclear power. Critics fear this could derail renewable energy progress and hike consumer prices, while supporters tout his engineering prowess and industry expertise. Will America reignite its fossil fuel dominance or face environmental backlash?
