America’s newly elected President Donald Trump is busy preparing his team before the swearing-in ceremony. Trump is preparing such a team that will strongly support him in achieving all his goals. Trump has chosen oil and gas executive Chris Wright to head the US Energy Department.
With the help of Chris Wright, Trump is hoping to fulfill his election promise in which he had talked about increasing America’s fossil fuel production. Wright is the founder and CEO of Liberty Energy, which provides services to companies extracting oil and gas from shale fields through a process known as ‘fracking’. He has created many records in this field and has benefited America in the energy sector.
Earlier, Trump has chosen Fox News host and retired soldier Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. Marco Rubio has been chosen for Foreign Minister and Trump’s staunch supporter billionaire Elon Musk is going to play an important role in cost cutting and bureaucracy.
Trump called Wright the father of the revolution
Donald Trump said in a statement, “Chris was one of the pioneers who helped start the American shale revolution, which promoted American energy independence and transformed global energy markets and geopolitics.” Trump further said, as Energy Secretary, Wright will be a special leader who will promote new ideas, eliminate red tape and usher in a new golden age of American prosperity and global peace.
Wright does not care about the environment!
Wright may have brought about a revolution in the fossil fuel sector and helped make America self-sufficient in terms of energy. But questions have been raised about his stance on the environment.
Wright has previously said that as long as energy is safe, reliable, affordable and improves human life, he does not care where it comes from. In a video posted on his LinkedIn profile last year, he said, “There is no climate crisis, and we are not even in the middle of an energy transition.”
