In the past week, the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, has been at the center of several headline initiatives emphasizing a major shift in U.S. energy policy. As a prominent member of President Trump’s cabinet, Wright has actively promoted what he calls “climate realism,” distancing himself from the label of climate denial. In recent public remarks, Wright explained that his approach is grounded in acknowledging the trade-offs of various energy sources, and he has framed the Biden administration’s policies as responsible for higher energy bills and slower global development by restricting fossil fuel exports.

In response, Wright’s leadership at the Department of Energy has focused on reversing these prior restrictions. One of his most significant actions has been the approval of multiple liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, a move designed to cement the United States’ position as the world’s top exporter of natural gas. He argues that this not only creates jobs and lowers domestic energy costs but also strengthens the energy security of U.S. allies, particularly in Europe, where recent Department of Energy deals have included a notable agreement to construct new nuclear power plants in Poland using American technology.

Wright has also championed a revival of nuclear energy, describing it as America’s second-largest source of electricity after natural gas and a critical solution for the future. In a recent national television interview, he confirmed plans for the administration to announce further actions to accelerate nuclear energy development. Key to this push are efforts to remove regulatory barriers and free up federal lands for new nuclear projects, in partnership with both the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. Wright has indicated that these moves have strong support from private capital and that further announcements are imminent.

Looking ahead, Wright is scheduled to meet in Alaska with the Secretary of the Interior and several Asian energy representatives regarding the massive Alaska LNG pipeline project. This meeting aims to facilitate LNG exports to Asian markets, marking a significant step in expanding U.S. energy reach overseas.

In addition to these international and nuclear priorities, Wright has unveiled a new Department of Energy policy focused on increasing accountability and identifying wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. This move is part of a larger administrative effort to promote transparency and efficiency across federal agencies.

Through these initiatives, Secretary Wright has signaled a decisive break from the previous administration’s emphasis on wind, solar, and battery power, arguing that these sources remain a minor part of the overall U.S. energy mix. Instead, his tenure is focused on unleashing American energy by supporting a broader portfolio that includes traditional fuels alongside advanced technologies like geothermal and next-generation nuclear.

Collectively, these actions and public statements reflect the Department of Energy’s current direction under Wright’s leadership: prioritizing energy security, economic growth, and regulatory reform, while seeking to reposition the United States as a dominant and reliable global energy supplier.
