(VitalNews.org) – Doubling down on his efforts to guarantee America’s energy independence, President-elect Donald Trump has appointed fossil fuel industry titan and fracking pioneer Chris Wright as the next Secretary of Energy.
This bold move signals a return to American energy dominance and a rejection of the climate alarmism that has crippled the economy.
Trump’s choice of the Liberty Energy CEO showcases his commitment to putting America First in energy policy.
Wright has extensive experience in the oil and gas sector. He had a key role in the American Shale Revolution, which makes him uniquely qualified to lead the Department of Energy toward a new era of prosperity and independence.
Hailing Wright’s appointment, Trump stated, “As Secretary of Energy, Chris will be a key leader, driving innovation, cutting red tape, and ushering in a new ‘Golden Age of American Prosperity and Global Peace.'”
Wright’s appointment has been met with enthusiasm from key Republican figures and industry leaders.
Senator John Barrasso praised Wright as “an energy innovator who laid the foundation for America’s fracking boom.”
The American Petroleum Institute also expressed support, highlighting Wright’s valuable perspective due to his extensive energy sector experience.
In stark contrast to the current administration’s push for unreliable and expensive “green” energy, Wright is a vocal critic of the liberal agenda.
He has boldly stated, “There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
Wright’s appointment is expected to lead to a significant shift in energy policy, focusing on increasing fossil fuel production, reducing energy costs and prioritizing American energy independence.
This aligns perfectly with Trump’s vision to “drill, baby, drill” and open up areas like the Arctic for oil exploration, ensuring affordable energy for all Americans.
As part of Trump’s strategy to revitalize American energy, Wright will join North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum on a new National Energy Council.
This team of experts will work tirelessly to reverse the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration’s war on fossil fuels and restore America’s position as a global energy leader.
Wright’s appointment clearly signals that the days of bowing to radical environmentalists and foreign interests are over.
