Why not make the fox guard the henhouse? Sounds like another great idea from Trump, naming the head of a fracking company to be Secretary of Energy. But, according to reports, Trump tried to shake these fossil fuel industry types and lobbyists for a cool $1 billion in campaign contributions back in April at Mar-a-Lago so now it’s time for some payback, and that’s what Trump is doing.
Like Trump himself, it’s as if they’re looking for the worst possible person to put in each position, just to see how crazy shit gets.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to serve as energy secretary in his upcoming, second administration.
CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, a key pillar of Trump’s quest to achieve U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market.
Wright has been one of the industry’s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change, and could give fossil fuels a boost, including quick action to end a year-long pause on natural gas export approvals by the Biden administration.
