Trump Taps Chris Wright as Energy Secretary


Trump (R) on Saturday named Chris Wright (R), Head of a Denver-based Oilfield Fracking Service company, who has Disputed the role of Climate Change in causing Extreme Weather, to Head the Energy Department.

Wright, a Major Republican Fundraiser, with an estimated Net Worth exceeds $150 million, would be One of the Loudest Voices in the Administration against the confirmed Science that Greenhouse Gas Emissions are raising the Planet’s Temperature, and causing an Upsurge in Extreme Weather.

Chris Wright is the Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Energy. He holds an Undergraduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and completed Graduate Studies in Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley, California, and MIT.

Beyond His Role at Liberty Energy, He serves on the Boards of Multiple Organizations and Nonprofits.

He is a Major Republican Fundraiser who, if approved by the Senate, will become One of the biggest Advocate of Climate Change Denial in Trump's Cabinet.

The Energy Department, which is tasked with maintaining the Nation’s Nuclear Weapons Stockpile, Regulating everyday Appliances, and Managing the National Labs, will likely play a Critical Role supporting the Fossil Fuel Industry under Trump.

During the Biden Administration, the Department helped dole out Grants and Loans to quicken the Transition to Low-Carbon Power, something that Wright has called Unnecessary.

In a Video uploaded to LinkedIn last year, Chris Wright said: “There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
