President-elect Donald Trump announced the nomination of Chris Wright, a strong advocate for oil and gas, to serve as the energy secretary, a move stirring significant climate discourse.
Wright's views contradict many scientists; while he denies a climate crisis, he acknowledges changing climate and rising seas, reflecting a complex perspective on energy and environment.
Having invested in geothermal and nuclear tech, Wright brings a mix of oil advocacy and clean energy interests, positioning him uniquely for overseeing the Department of Energy.
If confirmed, Wright will manage a vast DOE portfolio, including energy efficiency programs and loan guarantees for energy infrastructure, crucial for bridging startups to commercial scale.
