When President-Elect Donald Trump nominated Denver’s Chris Wright as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, the predictable howls from the Left were swift and loud.
When Chris Wright launched what would become Denver-based Liberty Oilfield Services in 2012, he wanted to create a petroleum services company with a different kind of culture, one that kept employees around for the long haul.as secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, the predictable howls from the left were swift and loud. Trump’s nominations often sparked kneejerk reactions, sometimes for good reason.
Under Wright’s leadership, Liberty has tackled noise, pollution, and traffic issues associated with drilling, setting a new standard for environmentally sensitive practices in the industry. Wright has shown the entire industry it can produce hydrocarbon products in a much safer manner while being more environmentally sensitive. He singlehandedly has pushed the entire industry in directions which benefits all of us.
Wright recognizes that lifting people out of poverty — especially women in developing regions — requires access to energy. For now, that may mean providing fossil fuels as a bridge solution until cleaner technologies become globally viable in terms of availability and cost. His philosophy balances immediate needs with long-term sustainability, making him an advocate for practical, compassionate energy policies.
In particular, I have quite been impressed with how good a listener Wright is — especially to views which differ from his own — and his willingness to change his mind. Wright doesn’t just hear arguments; he engages with them, often re-evaluating his own positions based on new evidence.
