The Department of Energy (DOE) is tasked with shaping America's energy policies and advancing solutions for a sustainable future. Yet,
Donald Trump has nominated Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy - a company deeply entrenched in the destructive practice of fracking - to lead the DOE in his upcoming administration.
This nomination is a direct threat to our planet, our communities, and our ability to combat climate change. Sign the petition to demand that U.S. Senators refuse to confirm this nomination!Chris Wright stands in sharp opposition to clean energy and a green future.
As the head of a fracking company, his career has been centered on extracting fossil fuels, a practice that devastates ecosystems, pollutes drinking water, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions - and therefore to climate change. Wright has publicly dismissed urgent calls to transition away from fossil fuels, calling such efforts "absurd" and advocating for more reliance on oil and gas. This stance defies climate science and ignores the dire warnings from experts about the catastrophic consequences of continued fossil fuel expansion.
Addressing climate change is more urgent than ever. Its worsening impacts - heat waves, wildfires, intensifying extreme weather, and environmental degradation - threaten the health, safety, and future of our planet and its people.
If confirmed, Wright would use the Department of Energy to advance an agenda that
prioritizes profits for polluters over the health of our planet and its people. This appointment threatens to undo years of progress in renewable energy innovation, climate resilience, and environmental protection.
The U.S. Senate has the power to block this dangerous nomination. We need leaders who will champion a clean, sustainable energy future - not someone who will double down on outdated and destructive fossil fuel practices. Sign this petition to urge the Senate to reject Chris Wright's appointment as Secretary of Energy.
