Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy, has been appointed as the new energy secretary for President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming second administration.

Wright is known for his support of oil and gas development, particularly fracking, which aligns with Trump's goal of U.S. energy dominance. He has been critical of climate change initiatives and believes that the global climate movement is failing. Wright advocates for increased fossil fuel production as a way to reduce poverty worldwide.

His appointment suggests a potential shift towards more aggressive fossil fuel policies, including the possibility of resuming natural gas export approvals that have been delayed under the Biden administration.
