Donald Trump has picked fracking executive Chris Wright to be energy secretary. Wright is CEO of Liberty Energy and serves on the board of Oklo, a nuclear power startup. Wright is a vocal supporter of oil and gas development who has denied climate change is a crisis.
Chris Wright: “There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition, either. Humans and all complex life on Earth is simply impossible without carbon dioxide, hence the term 'carbon pollution' is outrageous.”
We’ll have more on Chris Wright’s record later in the program.
