Trump Taps Fossil Fuel Executive Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy

The Daily News Now! with Corey Cambridge

President-elect Donald Trump has selected oil executive Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, to head the Department of Energy. Wright, a vocal skeptic of climate change policies, is expected to push for increased fossil fuel production and reverse many of the Biden administration’s energy initiatives. His appointment is part of Trump’s broader strategy to reshape the nation's energy landscape and promote a "Golden Age" of American prosperity. However, environmental groups are warning that his leadership could derail efforts to tackle climate change.
