President-elect Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has selected Chris Wright, the head of fracking company Liberty Energy, to lead the Department of Energy and to serve on a new National Energy Council.
Get the latest election news and results In his announcement, Trump credited Wright as “one of the pioneers who helped launch the American Shale Revolution,” adding that “as Secretary of Energy, Chris will be a key leader, driving innovation, cutting red tape.”
Trump on Friday tapped North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) to serve as interior secretary and as “energy czar” to oversee the new National Energy Council. The president-elect said the council will comprise all agencies and departments involved in the production, regulation and transportation of “ALL forms of American Energy.”
In Wright, Trump has chosen a skeptic of mainstream science on global warming who argues the “climate crisis” is a myth. The fracking executive runs a foundation focused on dispelling the conventional wisdom on climate change and promoting expanded fossil energy production as a solution to many of the world’s problems, an approach others say would drive dangerous levels of warming.

“There is no ‘climate crisis,’” Wright said in a video he posted on LinkedIn last year, adding that “the only thing resembling a crisis with respect to climate change is the regressive, opportunity-squelching policies justified in the name of climate change.”
I’m sure Heels Harris will be thrilled. Did you know she was now a big fan of fracking?
“the head of fracking company Liberty Energy”
Hey, no need to swear! Just say “that darn company.”

IN YOUR FACE HAROLD!
Yes.
Someone who gives a frack.
Gas will be under $2 in 12 mos.
That’s a good pick!
I would have preferred a real out-of-the-box thinker entrepreneur here like Musk.
I think Musk’s current assignment will be “DODGEd” by the bureaucratic state and end up as effective as the Grace Commission. His real ability won’t be used effectively.
Winning.
I’d rather the entire department be closed down. Take the Nuclear Regulatory Agency away & be done.
So now he's an onanist?

Great quote. Because it’s true and concise.
He’ll be a great choice if he opposes continuing to export RECORD amounts of US energy.
DOE’s primary focus of value is nuclear waste issues.
Don’t fool yourselves. You want this all to be some sort of ideology matter, but nuclear waste poses a much larger threat to everything than . . . anything.
The solution in use right now is largely global and stupid. Waste is kept onsite at the nuclear reactor plant.
Right. Monumentally stupid.
The US is the largest exporter of LNG to Europe.
Climate crisis, my gluteus maximus.
With each appointment, Trump seems to be saying to the previous administration, to the left media,to the deep state who went after him.........well, he seems to be saying to them with each appointment and rightfully so.......
“So suck on that”
Love it!
He is the Wright man for the job that’s for sure.
I hope it is.
