Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Biden administration was driving energy systems "into a ditch" through massive subsidies to unreliable sources like solar power and draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Wright appeared with his wife, Liz, on "The Katie Miller Podcast" Tuesday, where he criticized former President Joe Biden's energy policies for having a profound effect on the rest of the country.
"If you get energy wrong, you destroy your society," Wright said.
"Another reason I think President Trump won, you know, the Biden administration literally wanted to drive our energy system into the ditch," he added. "Just outrageous. We, fortunately, pivoted before too much deep damage. But we've wasted trillions of dollars. We need to repair the energy infrastructure in the Gulf. If the damage grows, it just means energy prices are going to be higher for longer after it."
Wright also dismissed concerns about falling behind major countries like China regarding sources like solar power, pointing out that losing all solar power "wouldn't even be a hiccup" for the country.
"If you wiped all the solar panels off the planet tomorrow, no one would notice. We were losing 10% of sort of global oil production today. It is a massive crisis. If all of the solar was zeroed out tomorrow, the world would lose 1.2% of energy," Wright said.
He emphasized that while he is generally "pro-solar," having worked in the solar industry, he was against subsidies to less reliable sources that drive up electricity prices. Wright instead suggested that nuclear power has a "very bright future" despite being "unfairly maligned" by climate activists.
"It's so much easier to sell fear than to sell reassurance," Wright said.

Biden Sold China SPR Oil at a Discount
As BHO said: “You can always count on JOE to {F} things up”
Biden’s Chinese masters...
He surely did his best to mess things up & generally succeeded, too. Take a lesson from Spain & see what happened there with trying to run a country on “green energy”. It just won’t work & there is a good reason for saying that. There was an article published on this site (if I recall) about the exact reasons WHY their plan didn’t work out & they had a nationwide blackout to prove it if I remember correctly. I studied industrial electronics at one point after leaving the military & the reasons they gave for Spain’s failed experiment made perfect sense. Yet I see numerous examples of various places trying to follow the same stupid methods.
USO (oil futures) is down 17% cents this morning. If it stays there it usually translates to gas prices going down the same amount in my area within a few days. But that’s in part because I live in a red state. And even with that it’s still both a long way from back to normal, while also never having gotten up as high as it did with the over $5/gallon we saw under Biden even here in Alabama.
That’s Whoreizontal. The Biden Crime Family, Whoreizontal Harris &. Tampon Tim Walz should be in prison.
O’s first science advisor wanted gas at $8 a gallon back in 2009.
“Biden wanted to drive reliable energy ‘into a ditch,’ says Trump Energy Secretary”. That was when Joe tipped over on his bicycle...right into the ditch.
Biden was never more than a figurehead and energy policy like just about everything else was dictated by a leftist cabal. Radical Greens pushed for impractical “ renewable” energy, electric cars and an end to US energy independence. Their goal was not so much green environmentalism as to destroy US industries and make us dependent on on a global economy ruled by the elites.
Hell, Biden wanted to drive The Country 'into a ditch' and was well on his way!
