About our Chris Wright news

Latest news on Chris Wright, US Secretary of Energy and former Liberty Energy CEO, covering Trump administration energy policy, oil industry leadership, and nuclear power initiatives.

Christopher Allen Wright, confirmed as the 17th United States Secretary of Energy on 3 February 2025, brings extensive experience from the energy sector to President Donald Trump's second administration. As the former CEO of Liberty Energy, North America's second-largest hydraulic fracturing company, Wright has been a significant figure in the oil and gas industry.

Wright's appointment has drawn attention for his strong stance on energy policy and climate issues. Known for his innovative approach to energy production, he has advocated for expanding domestic oil and gas operations while also serving on the board of Oklo Inc., a nuclear technology company. His confirmation by the Senate in a 59-38 vote reflected bipartisan support, though his views on climate change and energy transition have sparked debate.

Beyond his corporate achievements, Wright has demonstrated a hands-on approach to industry challenges. In 2019, he notably drank fracking fluid to demonstrate its safety, while his company promoted "greener selections" for chemical additives. His leadership style combines technical expertise - gained from his MIT and Berkeley education - with practical industry experience, making him a distinctive figure in American energy policy.

Wright's journey in the energy sector began in 1992 when he founded Pinnacle Technologies, pioneering commercial shale gas production through fracking. His subsequent ventures, including the creation of Liberty Energy in 2011, helped shape the modern American energy landscape. His tenure at the Denver Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 2020 to 2024 added financial oversight experience to his portfolio.

Through our NewsNow feed, stay informed about Wright's initiatives at the Department of Energy, his policy decisions, and their impact on American energy independence and infrastructure development. Our comprehensive coverage draws from reliable sources to keep you updated on the latest developments in US energy policy under his leadership.
