  • Donald Trump has nominated Chris Wright, a fossil fuel executive, as the new Secretary of Energy.

  • Wright denies the climate crisis and has strong ties to the oil, gas, and nuclear industries.

  • His appointment is seen as an indication that Trump aims to steer the U.S. towards a petrostate while pressure for renewable energy increases.

  • Wright's company has invested in innovative technologies, but critics warn he overlooks the urgent need for climate action.
