Trump's Energy Secretary Nominee Chris Wright Advocates for LNG, Nuclear, and Grid Reliability at Hearing
Jan 15, 2025, 04:30 PM
Chris Wright, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Energy Secretary, faced a Senate confirmation hearing on January 15, 2025. During the hearing, Wright emphasized the importance of expanding American energy production across various sources, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, geothermal, and solar energy. He acknowledged the reality of climate change, stating it as a global challenge that necessitates evolving the energy system. Wright's nomination received a generally warm reception from senators of both parties, despite interruptions from climate protesters who criticized his past statements on wildfires and his ties to the fossil fuel industry. Wright also expressed support for increasing the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and highlighted the need to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal and address grid reliability issues. His stance on energy policy aligns with Trump's vision of 'energy dominance,' focusing on affordability, reliability, and security of energy supplies.
