Affordable and reliable energy is the backbone of our economy. It powers hospitals, fuels innovation in technology, drives manufacturing, and keeps goods and people moving via transportation. It touches every aspect of our lives, making products and services affordable and accessible. For the families and communities most in need, affordable energy is not just an economic issue — it’s a lifeline. Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy and Colorado native, has spent his career advancing energy solutions that benefit everyone, and now, as the nominee for U.S. energy secretary, he has the opportunity to bring this vision to the national stage.
