DoE head nominee Wright underscores Trump’s vision for American ‘energy dominance’

“Energy is the essential agent of change that enables everything that we do — everything. A low-energy society is poor. A highly energized society can bring health, wealth and opportunity for all,” Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright said in his opening statement. 

The confirmation hearing Wednesday for President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for energy secretary, Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright, gave the oil executive an opportunity to clarify his views on energy and climate. 

“Energy is the essential agent of change that enables everything that we do — everything. A low-energy society is poor. A highly energized society can bring health, wealth and opportunity for all,” Wright said in his opening statement.
