The U.S. Department of Energy will prioritize expanding energy production over achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, according to an order issued on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

The Senate confirmed Chris Wright, the head of fracking company Liberty Energy, as energy secretary in an 59-38 vote on Monday with eight senators who caucus with Democrats joining Republicans in clearing his nomination to lead the department.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright issued a broad plan Wednesday to “unleash energy dominance,” pledging to crack down on efficiency rules and increase energy production without “net-zero policies.”

New Energy Secretary Chris Wright is providing the first looks at his agenda and style since winning Senate confirmation — and leaving big funding questions unanswered.
