Energy Secretary Champions Fossil Fuel Revival Energy Secretary Chris Wright has emerged as Trump’s chief advocate for fossil fuel expansion, issuing emergency orders keeping Michigan coal plants and Pennsylvania fossil facilities operational through August 2025. Wright dismissed climate concerns as merely a “side effect of building the modern world” during his CERAWeek address. These plant extensions will increase pollution levels and cost Midwest consumers tens of millions in higher energy bills, demonstrating how this administration prioritizes fossil fuel interests over public health and economic welfare.
