Trump Nominates Energy CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary

Donald Trump has nominated Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy and a fracking pioneer, to lead the US Energy Department. Wright, a climate change skeptic, is expected to advance Trump's agenda of increasing fossil fuel production, encapsulated by the slogan "drill, baby, drill." His appointment is seen as a victory for the fossil fuel industry, with plans to enhance US energy dominance and reduce regulatory barriers. Wright's leadership is anticipated to focus on boosting oil and gas output rather than investing in renewable energy sources.
