Trump has selected Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright as his pick to lead the U.S. Department of Energy.
Trump also said in a statement that Wright will serve on the newly-created National Energy Council, which will be chaired by North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s selection for secretary of the Interior.
Trump said in his announcement that the council “will oversee the path to U.S. energy dominance.”
Wright has been a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, and has said “there is no climate crisis and we are not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
