Trump’s Energy Secretary Pick Chris Wright: Net Zero Is “Sinister”
In the Telegraph, Cameron Henderson profiles Chris Wright, Donald Trump’s nominee for energy secretary, who slammed ‘Net Zero’ as a “sinister goal” and was briefly censored by LinkedIn for posting a video attacking climate policy
Here’s an excerpt:
Mr. Wright, the founder and Chief Executive of Denver-based Liberty Energy, is expected to spearhead Mr. Trump’s “drill baby drill” plans to increase oil and gas production and seek new ways to boost energy.
A climate sceptic who has filed lawsuits opposing climate disclosure rules, Mr. Wright has called climate activists alarmist and has likened efforts by Democrats to combat global warming to Soviet-style communism. …
Last year, he was briefly censored by LinkedIn for posting a video in which he said: “There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
During the 12-minute video, he said that the terms ‘climate crisis’, ‘energy transition’, ‘carbon pollution’, ‘clean energy’ and ‘dirty energy’ are all “destructive deceptions” that cause children anxiety.
Mr. Wright went on to say that “we have seen no increase in the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or floods” as a result of ‘climate change’ – a claim that is widely disputed.
The social media platform took the video down, claiming it violated its policy on spam and scams, before restoring it the next day, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Wright, who does not have any political experience, has written extensively on the need for more ‘fossil fue’l production to lift people out of poverty. …
In a keynote address to oil and gas industry figures earlier this year, Mr. Wright has said “there’s no such thing as ‘renewable’ energy”, adding that the target of reaching ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050 is “sinister”.
“Net Zero 2050: zero chance of this happening, but it’s actually a sinister goal because we spend an insane amount of money pretending we’re going to actually achieve this,” he said.

The climate change fraud has to be stopped and now, before the fools who believe such nonsense kill people with their insane ideas.
