Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Chris Wright, a vocal advocate for fossil fuels and CEO of Liberty Energy, to lead the US Department of Energy.
Wright has been critical of climate change movements, deeming them alarmist and likening their efforts to fight global warming to Soviet-style communism.
Despite lacking formal political experience, Wright is recognized for his bold approach in the oil and gas industry, famously drinking fracking fluid on camera to argue for its safety.
If confirmed, Wright aims to align with Trump's strategies to boost oil and gas production amidst rising electricity demand while opposing global climate cooperation.
