President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as Secretary of Energy. Wright's leadership could significantly alter U.S. energy policy, favoring fossil fuels and nuclear energy while reversing Biden-era initiatives. He emphasizes energy security, affording a holistic view of energy sources without distinguishing between 'clean' and 'dirty' energy.
