Businessman Chris Wright is the CEO of oilfield services group Liberty Energy. Wright helped launch the American Shale Revolution of the mid-2000s that significantly increased US production of oil and natural gas.
President Trump has announced the nomination of Chris Wright to be Secretary of Energy.

“The Council of National Energy will consist of all Departments and Agencies involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation, of ALL forms of American Energy. This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation,” Trump said Friday.
Another white dude will be the next cry from the left.
A white guy who will do his job, he’s not there because of his skin color, he’s there because he’s qualified for that job, unlike the left who has to be black, LGBT, and other DEI and WOKE nonsense, but he’s not qualified for the job, for example: the smiling hyena better known as Kamala Harris.
the left can say whatever they want, that WOKE garbage isn’t working for them.
Hopefully the job includes stripping the agency of its powers and assets in preparation for abolition.
And dismantling the Department of Energy, Department of Education and the FBI would save the American people nearly $133 billion.
More than that, once you factor in all the money they cost with their incessant meddling
Can we please dismantle the IRS? I’m really tired of paying “voluntary” taxes.
EPA, ATF, IRS, we could go on all night.
Can’t wait to watch the entire Green New Scam farce self destruct. The Green Wieners heads are going to explode.
Certainly looks like the Wright guy to me!
No worries; the current white ‘dudette’ has the bar literally touching the ground. Wright is to energy what the boy from Tupelo was to rock’n roll.
No, he’s a Wright dude. 😜
The person with the best qualifications get the job. Period!
It has already raised its ugly head…
Maybe school choice would provide a more non-white selection, but this isn’t about color, race, or degree of woke. It’s all about merit and proven ability an leadership. DEI is dead!
Energy independence cuts off IC Terrorist funding
Most of that chaos was caused by the CIA, installing dictatorships and creating terrorists for a purpose and when they don’t serve you, then you bring them down. They have done that in Latin America, the Middle East and other parts of the planet. The CIA should be dismantled as well as the FBI.
Just remember that it’s mostly the State Department (and sometimes Defense) that directs the CIA what to do.
You are precisely 180d off…
in skateboarding we call it 4.680.
without the cash giveaway
Yes indeed, Barry.
Known this for 50 yrs, and I’ll be 64 in a few weeks…
The thing about common knowledge is that it is generational and He will impart it to whom He will impart it, when He will impart it…
God knows…
Trust God. Fear not.
Nope,they are an independent entity that has never answered to anyone, ever.
They did that in all those other countries…then they decided to do that to US. That is what we have experienced…what we have experienced with prices going out of control, the debt spiraling out of control, no sense of who is calling the shots in our government, electoral fraud so all their candidates can win….
This is what our CIA did to more countries than I can count…it is horrifying to learn about.
Of course they never told any Americans what they were doing
They never had our agreement to do it.
They acted as if they were protecting our country. But they were only protecting huge corporate interests. Yes US corporate interests.
The would go into countries and US wanted to exploit their oil, so the US would exploit their oil. The people of those countries got nothing except debt, debt so great they could never pay it off.
Now they have done this to us. And WE HAVE HAD IT. WE must put an end to these parasites who want to suck the lifeblood out of all of us taxpayers.
The CIA, the mafia, the cartels, the banking cartels, the human traffickers, the child traffickers, the biological weapons creation labs, all of this is the slime that we pay for with our taxes and we are never told what they are doing with out money.
It is time we found a way to put them back in their places. They should all be brought up on charges of treason, trafficking, racketeering, etc.
We as taxpayers should not have to pay one cent for these horrible activities.
I think the UK is about to revolt big time. The UK govt have instructed all businesses that they have to pay 1/3rd of all profit to the government for pet schemes! For supermarkets, that will mean soaring grocery prices.
That’s just insane
They killed JFK. All you need to know.
Illegal activities are a source of immense funding for the “agencies”. When our government does not control the agency the agency acts independently, against our interest.
What difference does it make??

As Trump said, with Gaddafi in power the world would be a little safer.
Without Gaddafi in power, groups like Al Qaeda are breeding grounds. They did the same with the coup d’état in Iran in 1953, and they wanted to do the same with Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
Yes, in Iran in ’53, was a democratically elected, sectarian President prepared to get along peacefully with his neighbors and the U.S.
He was a NATIONALIST, and not unreasonably felt the profits from the sale of the Countries Natural Resources (oil) should go to the PEOPLE, much as they do in the Netherlands.
And so the british MI6 and American CIA toppled him and installed the Shaw, and a brutal regime to keep him in.
“Yes, in Iran in ’53, was a democratically elected, sectarian President prepared to get along peacefully with his neighbors and the U.S.”
Horse puckey.
See Operation Ajax.
You are mostly wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahlavi_Iran
He is completely correct.
Using your link, see the section labeled ‘Cold War’.
Next see Operation Ajax in search engine.
This info has been discussed and revealed multiple times on this site by several.
You left out the American oil company cartel.
The Shaw was a great friend to American.
Carter the puke betrayed him and America because he was a spineless coward.
Carter was doing the right thing until the Iranians sent that Persian Rabbit to kill him.
(displayed to the music of Elmer Fudd performing Kill The Wabbit)
Take it up with Nancy.
carter never did the right thing. Only eclipsed by obammy and plugs. Iran was the Little America of the middle east.
Just for googling etc purposes: it is Shah
Thank you
RIGHT ON
Don’t tear down a fence unless you know why it was built there in the first place.
We have no business in other peoples countries. We have no right to tell them what to do with their resources, how to live, or who to worship.
Our strength should lie in our own self sufficiency, and ability to defend our borders, seas, and air space. We should have the largest standing army in the world.
All trade should be fair trade. Why the hell should anyone be raping anyone else’s country and leaving them in poverty with no choice but to emigrate, and hate the people who did it to them?
What you describe is my impression of Switzerland. Don’t know how accurate it is, but it’s always seemed like they have the right idea.
We did for a while, too: “Avoid foreign entanglements.”
Well he did bomb an airplane and
Murder over 250 innocent people
That’s what the FBI said, almost immediately after the Lockerbie bombing . . . strange that the FBI knew who was responsible so quickly . . .
——
Tony Gauci, whose shop Mary’s House was near Malta’s airport, identified Megrahi as the man who bought clothes from him that were later found to have been packed into the Samsonite, concealing the bomb.
But there were reports of large undisclosed payments going from the US Justice Department to Mr Gauci.
The suspicion was growing that, either by accident or cover-up, Megrahi had become the innocent fall guy who got a life sentence for mass murder.

Another “Spot On” nomination
Yep, the hits keep on coming. Better start taking shoe laces away from stinkin liberals.
I hope he’s equally open to nuclear, which would compete with the oil and gas industries he’s always been a part of and represented. The release says he has worked in nuclear, solar and geothermal as well.
Edit: I did find this, which is reassuring: “He is on the board of small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer Oklo Inc. and global mining royalties company EMX Royalty Corp.”
My only gripe with nuclear is the spent fuel rods. And DEI hires that aren’t careful or smart enough to meet the rigorous standards for running them.
Put the in a Space X rocket & fire them into the sun
OR bury them deep underground at the Nevada test site temporarily until we come up with a satisfactory method of disposal. I’m sure they’d keep for a hundred years and by that time we’ll figure out a best solution. I thought they could be re-cycled?
Spent nuclear fuel, “waste”, can be used for fuel in small modular reactors continuously until it is consumed.
That is the last thing you should do! The sun gives life to everything, don’t mess with it!
Molten salt and thorium nuclear energy is the future, China is at the forefront of this technology, while in America they continue with the WOKE agenda nonsense.
Huge difference in having a highly disciplined society like in China vs a society of WOKE idiots like in America.
Massive AI server farms will require nuclear powerplants
I own stock on OKLA.
This is good news!
We don’t need AI, and we shouldn’t want it either!
I’m sorry, but you are wrong. China is nothing but a thieving communist country. They steal, they do not and have not created much of anything.
Well, China is surpassing America in many things. Today, China is the country that issues the most patents, when in 2007, the country that issued the most patents was America. Tell those WOKE universities here in America to stop producing indoctrinated students who think that a man can get pregnant.
In reality, today, China is more capitalist than America, and America has also copied technologies, like in WWII, for example, all those German technologies and scientists.
smoke and mirrors and I think you fell for it. When you tell me the real information coming out of China, I might agree with you.
That ain’t happening……….
And America stole of all its nuclear, and flight ability from Germany. Your point is what?
Sorry, don’t think they stole it. These people were given opportunities to chose a side, like Von Braun. I think everyone would like to have that after getting their asses kicked? He could have chosen, the Soviet Union, Germany or the US.
He chose wisely………
sorry, I wrote above before scrolling. I couldn’t remember all of the proper technology terms, but this has proven to be safe and effective and cheaper in the long run. Woke chit has set us far behind future technology.
China’s society is highly intimidated, not highly disciplined.
We have been using SMRs for over 60 years in the military. Only politicians have prevented us from having them for worldwide power generation.
If stacked side by side on a football field. The sum total of all nuclear waste as spent fuel assemblies would not fill a football field. If reprocessed, the high level (extended half life) materials in the fuel rods could be separated from the bulk of the low level waste of assemblies and the remaining material to be reprocessed would be a tiny fraction of the assembly bulk.
Absolutely true
And how long does it take to get rid of windmill blades made of fiber glass? They just keep going in windmill graveyards that will overtake more of our precious land. People are working and making progress on the waste and safety of nuclear while windmills’ fiber glass graveyards just keep filling up.
See this article for some sobering examples of windmills gone bad.
https://www.thegazette.com/environment-nature/harvest-arrives-before-debris-is-cleared-from-cedar-county-wind-turbine-fires/
The blades keep getting hit by lightning. Then they shatter and spread fiberglass fragments all over prime farmland, contaminating the soil. It is damaging to farm equipment and super expensive to clean up.
Or the turbines overheat and catch fire.
you don’t and good point. Laying around this country in landfills. Let’s also not forget EV batteries.
Molten salt and thorium nuclear energy is the future
Yucca Mountain Recyling/Reprocessing Depot should be reopened.
The entire nuclear industry was created in the 1950s premised on the idea that reprocessing was going to be part of the process. It was the “nuclear fuel cycle,” a cycle not a one-way trip, not a use once and throw away.
Then the “no nukes” crowd got reprocessing shut down in the USA because it recovered plutonium that could be used in weapons.
Well then, perhaps you could list all the times when there has been a spent fuel rod problem.
Nuclear is WOKE Beyond comprehension.
Nuclear is disgusting DEI. FILTHY LIBERAL Toxic Work environment in Canada. But what else is new. We are an Unserious Nation.
He needs to restart/open up the Yucca Mountain Fuel Rod recycling/storage site in Nevada billions of dollars spent for a recycle/storage depot in the middle of the Nevada desert specifically for the safety reasons of spent fuel rods that were currently stored near the nuke plants waiting for an accident to happen, and had the latest technology to recycle them and reprocess them. Barky pulled the plug when it was finally ready to begin operations, due to his green new deal w/the reusable energy whackos that insisted solar/wind/electric vehicles would save the planet because Al Gore said the Glaciers were all going to melt and carbon dioxide would kill all of us due global warming. All of Barky’s democratic scam artists were given priority for renewable energy billions for solar manufacturing and windmills and carbon capture scams, most going belly up w/nothing to show for their BS big ideas and now fat bank accts and massive debt for the USA taxpayers. The technology now w/the sodium nuke power generators has proven to be safe, reliable and very efficient in producing power, look at our nuclear subs and aircraft carriers. Totally clean, and safer than ever before. I hope he has people that begin work for him to consider this alternative rather than wind and solar that cannot produce 24/7 under adverse weather conditions. and eliminate the electric auto mandate Jan 20/2025.
I believe the Thorium based pebble reactors use up all the fuel and can even dispose of spent fuel from other reactors….
no nuclear until the spent fuel is recyclable onsite
Molten Chloride Salt Fast Reactors will do that.
Private sector, CEO of an oilfield services company. I like that! Drill baby drill!
President Trump needs to make certain that oil and natural gas production leases cannot be cancelled by a Democrat President. The same thing with pipeline environmental approvals and permits. Oil and natural gas production companies invest billions of dollars only to have the Democrats cancel the permits and leases retroactively.
What’s the purpose of a lease, permit or contract that can simply be cancelled after it’s been issued?
No. It’s time to STOP worrying about the political implications of any policy that should be enacted, because it is the right thing to do. If it’s right, then everyone will know it when it’s time to vote.
Not true at all.
Wrong. The voters and the Dominion machines are dumber than rocks. They go the way the Deep State tells them.
Democrats and their woke green new energy scammers.
BDFC ! Chris Wright is one smart mofo.
Fabulous!
Competence is King!
Oops! There goes one. And another one. Wupsi, there’s another one. My liberal friends’ heads are sploding. There! Another one.
Like a fireworks grand finale.
Appointments made on the basis of merit……what a concept!!!
MAGA Baby!
Never tired of winning!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
As long as we’re an exporter of energy on the level we were under Trump 1 and gas is under 2 dollars a gallon, I’m cool.
The Left can go frack themselves.
No, we will NOT be an exporter of energy on the level we were under Trump 1,…it will be MUCH BIGGER.
ANWAR will supply all the nations of East Asia.
Enhancing peace, as it is unwise to bite the hand that fuels you.
Biden drained our reserves.
Now they’ll be full to overflowing.
This is as much a security issue as anything else.
I certainly hope so.
But, I’m trying to not get too cocky just yet.
There’s a lot of obstructions to fight through first.
Biden’s executive orders for net-zero carbon neutral will be gone soon after January 20, 2025.
The department of energy needs to bring in the DOGE. The DOE currently wastes a lot of our tax dollars on there net-zero carbon neutral goals. Net-zero tries to avoid use of natural gas, coal, etc. believing that all electricity is produced by other means.
New California EV requirements that Newsom just signed violate federal law and should be immediately overruled by President Trump!
That is not his job.
That is the job for the Courts.
President Trump can issue an executive order rescinding California’s exemption from the federal statute!

Yes, another great pick,…and the hits just keep on coming.
Ignore rumors, the I/C are playing their silly buggers games, and wait for PDJT to announce.
Drill Baby Drill!!!
Great news for Alaska and the U.S.
The really strange thing is that all the people that have been nominated so far actually have some degree (or a lot of) knowledge about what they’ll be running.
Odd precedent given the current DEI/quota zombie wasteland, no?
No one is being chosen for their skin color, sex, or sexual orientation. FINALLY!
Well, he’s no Jenny Granholm! How will the country survive such an appointment!
Granholm is Canadian!
As well as being an inept doofus.
One thing to say: yeah!!!!!
He’s even better than I thought! Going to make the eco-commies go crazy!
I love this guy…haha…great video.
Same here littleflower! Can you imagine a conversation between Musk and Wright! Things that make you whoa, lol.
That video reminds me of that Leftie “anti fossil fuel” activist who was asked where electricity comes from. She thought it just came out of a magical socket in the wall.
It does! LOL
The common denominator among Trump appointees is that the government position they are being offered is a step down for them and a huge pay cut. Like Trump himself and Vivek and Elon and RFK, most of them are serving the country without self interest. For the Democrats who hold those same positions, the job itself is their greatest achievement. That’s why they all come into it looking to tap into the grift.
It’s a study in contrasts and the reason for Trump’s success vs Democrats failures. The democrats may personally benefit by graft but it’s always at the expense of the country who invariably suffers decline when they’re in charge. That’s equally true of the RINO shills who lack talent and could never succeed outside of government.
Joe Biden!And Family!
Not just democrats. Most in Congress as well as state and local governments.

SOLID PICK.
as a southern Louisiana Boy, who depends LITERALLY on the strength of the gas and oil industry (you do too, but me, more directly as I can state it), this is a SOLID.
I am not going to get tired of this winning.

A home run appointment!!!! Knows more about the industry than any dipchit in the Senate who will be profiling during his conformation hearing.
Potus Trump is saying there will be no woke LBGT, DEI, MOOCHERS AND COMMIES OR FREAKS IN MY ADMINISTRATION. NO SIR. JUST QUALIFIED PEOPLE WHO CAN GIT ER DONE.

This was Sarah Palin’s position we have been sold out. Sarah Palin tea party supporters have been shut out.
How many NEW councils, departments, etc. is this guy going to form…all to shrink government? CENTRAL PLANNING DOESN’T WORK. How many times does that need to be said? There is ONLY ONE GROUP that should be setting energy policy in this country – THE CONSUMERS (and by extension the free market)!!!! Let the companies do what they need to do, respecting the private property rights of land owners (so pollution, trespass, pipelines, underground water pollution, etc. still being crimes), and other wise leave them alone to keep their customers, shareholders, employees, etc. happy. FREEDOM WORKS. If not for the presence of a “government energy policy” that has favored bigOil since the days Rockefeller began purchasing all the members of congress and the executive branch, who knows what kind of creative energy innovations we might have seen by now. No, I don’t hate oil, but I do know that the free military protection the taxpayers pay for and young men DIE to deliver, is just one of the many ways that oil has a massive advantage over everything else that might actually be better. Same with nuclear’s free waste disposal provisions, wind and solar subsidies, etc. LET THE MARKET WORK without picking winners and losers simply because you own their stocks.
My Neighbor works for this man started out in North Dakota has retained his entire crew since they started a very loyal man brings his people up with him pays them very well. The company was very small 6 years ago 1/100th the size of Slumber J oil giant overnight they bought Slumber J due to their ability to build Locally advanced oil recovery equipment as needed right here in my little town of Brighton Co. God Blesses America pray pray pray. Be humble treat your neighbor as you like to be treated.
Yet another energy guy who is afraid to call the Climate Delusion a fraud. As I said on another site:
And just like that President Trump is live at MSG again, watching UFC 309… with a major amount of his nominees and family. The man is very special. On RSBN live
With all of the un-woke things that Chris Wright plans to do, I predict that his opponents will tell lies about him.
He should be prepared for that. Maybe get himself a very skilled and aggressive lawyer, and then let it be known that he’ll sue people and news organizations who tell lies about him.
New Energy Secretary Chris Wright
Chris Wright was the CEO of Liberty Energy and has dedicated his career to finding the most efficient energy sources. He sits with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to have an honest conversation about climate change and fossil fuels.
https://www.prageru.com/video/why-are-energy-prices-so-frickin-high-with-chris-wright
Oh, my God! I would love to be a fly on the wall in all the regulatory agencies!!!!!
It just dawned on me. Pres. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to GOP elites as well as Federal agencies. His appointments increase public awareness of highly accomplished, high potential challengers to existing GOP leadership. And, most of his appointees OWE NOTHING to the national GOP organization. Leaders of the hoi polloi for the next 10 years will emerge from the 47th presidency;-)
For a good overview of the types of policy positions favored by Chris Wright see his company’s report “Bettering Human Lives.” updated annually. Lots of good data on energy, global warming, the role of energy in human wellbeing, etc.
