Chris Wright's 60th birthday confirmation hearing for Secretary of Energy nominee was marred by climate change protesters, reflecting the controversy surrounding energy policies and environmental concerns.
Protesters interrupted Wright's statements about nuclear energy and energy costs, highlighting public anxiety over climate impacts as demonstrated by the ongoing fires in Los Angeles.
Sen. Bill Cassidy responded to the interruption by referring to Wright's analysis, stating that US emissions have decreased since 2000, challenging the protesters' claims about the energy sector.
The protests were not limited to Wright; other nominees including Rubio faced interruptions, unveiling the bipartisan tension around climate policy and its implications for future generations.
