The Senate has confirmed Chris Wright as Energy Secretary in a 59-38 vote, marking a shift in energy policy towards fossil fuels under President Trump. Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, emphasizes fossil fuel expansion and energy security while acknowledging climate change. Eight Democrats joined Republicans in support. Critics warn that his confirmation could stall clean energy initiatives. Wright, who plans to sever ties with the energy industry, will oversee a $50 billion budget and a new National Energy Council focused on domestic production.
