Wright is the chief executive of oil and natural gas fracking services company Liberty Energy and sits on the board of a nuclear reactor company, according to his biography on Liberty’s website.
He has strongly advocated for the need for more fossil fuels, putting him in line with Trump’s repeated call for more oil production.
Wright has also expressed doubts about whether climate change is driving extreme weather events.
“There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either,” Wright said in a video uploaded to LinkedIn.
“We have seen no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or floods despite endless fear mongering of the media, politicians and activists,” he also said in the video. “The only thing resembling a crisis with respect to climate change is the regressive, opportunity-squelching policies justified in the name of climate change.”
Hey, at least by not voting for Kamala, we defeated genocide! Yay!
Next big Netflix Boxing Match… Chris Wright vs Elon Musk! Woot! (This one won’t be rigged for the highest money intake either.)
I’m still sad we didn’t get to see Zuckerberg wipe the floor with Musk. As much as I hate both of them, I would have gleefully watched Zuck do that anyway.
In other news, Trump has nominated Dracula for head of America’s Blood Centers
Nah man, Dracula could do so much good there. He wouldn’t have to kill anyone anymore he’d just get a fresh steady supply of blood for him and all his minions. Then he could use his vampire powers to encourage even more people to donate blood so we’d have excess supply for the medical community.
Interest, meet conflict.
I’m sure that’s going to work out just fucking great for ending the god damned world.
Putting a BUNCH of Billionaires and CEOs in Charge of Government Regulations is called DRAINING THE SWAMP! Because those people ALWAYS put the Working Class ABOVE Profits!
I can’t wait for these republicans to get exactly what they voted for.
They’ll be happy. Like… they really clearly actually want this. Even when their faces get eaten, they’re all enthusiastically for it.
The face eating will be blamed on the Democrat Leopards.
No doubt these policies will bring short term (1 - 5 years) benefits, cheaper oil and less regulation is likely to reduce costs to consumers.
But long term, that’s when
themore shit will hit the fan.It won’t reduce anything. They don’t lower prices anymore, they raise profit. They know from Covid anyone with money can just do any thing they want because in a post democracy the court system will just kick the people to the curb.
