The US Energy Secretary focused on climate change

On Monday, early Monday, before oil and gas managers of the new US Secretary Chris Wright, a criticized efforts to promise energy policy and “180 degrees Pivot”.

Mr. Wright, which is a former packaging executor, has become the strongest publisher of President Trump’s plans Expand American oil and gas production and In fact, all federal policies The global intention is aimed at trying to warm up.

“I wanted to reverse the energy policy,” Mr. Rail, Ceravek’s Houston’s S & P Global Conference, launched Ceravek with the largest annual collection of the country’s energy industry. “The policy of the previous administration is to change the climate change in migration, just as collateral.”

Mr. Richin’s speech was greeted with applause.

A year ago, Gennifer Granholm was completely different when the Secretary of Energy during the Biden administration, tell The same collection of the transition to low carbon forms of energy such as wind, solar and batteries. “As the largest oil and gas producer in the world,” Ms. Granholm, “Amazing America’s energy expansion is surprising.”

Mr. Wright was rejected by the restoration power that plays a small role in the world’s energy mix. Before natural gas is currently transforming electricity or other use, it provides 25 percent of the global raw energy. The wind and the sun only provided 3 percent of the fact. He noted that the gas can be burned in ovens in stoves in various other users – stoves or used to make fertilizers or other chemicals – it was difficult to repeat with other energy sources.

“Outside of open scale and expenditure problems, there are simply a way to physically wind, solar and batteries, there are no ways and batteries that can use natural gas,” Mr. Wright.

Mr. Wright claimed that Spiritual fight for fossil fuels, To alleviate global poverty and move too fast to move very fast to reduce waste risks that control the world’s energy prices. He called “bad goals” by stopping to add greenhouse gas to the atmosphere by 2050.

At a conference in Washington last weekMr. Wright said that African countries need all kinds of energy, including coal, including the most polluting fossil fuel. “We said that in years of western countries did not develop the coal without shame, we worsened,” he said. “It’s just nonsense.”

Other oil and gas heads in Houston on Monday, Mr. Wright’s oil, oil and gas sounded as the best solution to the world’s energy poverty.

“The energy is still sad, short, difficult living in the planet, because energy lives in poverty and is a shame,” said Michael Wirth, Chevron executive power. “It should be unacceptable, but affordable, at least left the conversation in the West.”

In recent years, most of the world invests very much in energy. Last year, they invested $ 1.2 trillion in $ 1.2 trillion, solar, batteries and electric networks, which they spend in the infrastructure of oil, gas and coal, according to to the International Energy Agency.

However, Mr. Wright said the energy passing into the energy, which is expensive. “Everywhere in the wind and the reputation of the sun has increased significantly, prices increased,” he said.

This is not always true. Tex He saw that the prices of electricity are slightly reduced During the last ten years, the wind and the sun raised rapidly and now provides more than a quarter of the government. The cost of wind turbines and solar panels collapsed in the last ten years. However, some places such as California and Germany, the prices of electricity also saw that they have increased significantly when they use renewable energy.

Some energy managers were more optimistic at the restorative energy. CEO of Nextera Energy in the United States John Ketchum, CEO of Nextera Energy, said that the renewable energy is growing in the United States, especially for new turbines that burn natural gas, he said.

Renewable energy is “cheaper and is currently available” Mr. Ketchum. “As a solution, as an example, you can get your hands on a gas turbine and actually look 2030 or later to build along the market.”

In his speech, Mr. Wright criticized Bayden’s leadership to slow the growth of natural gas exports. Energy Department last year Ceased to confirm the new terminals Exporter, gas shipping is worried about the environment and price effects. Despite the break, the United States was still the world’s largest natural gas exporter in 2024.

Monday, Mr. Raw, signed fourth export approval since Mr. Trump’s post, prolong the approval For the dolphin terminal off the coast of Louisiana. The Biden management said Review of gas exports He found only modest effects on global waste and local US prices.

Mr. Wright in climate change, said that the planet did not deny it warmed and called himself “Climate Realist”.

However, he added that the greenhouse gas emissions burning fossil fossil fossil fossil fossil fossil fossil fossils In at least 100,000 years – The side effects of building a modern world. “

“Indeed, the removal of all the world’s citizens in the world, which is twice in the world, increased by 50 percent to the beginning of the world, increased by 50 percent.” Everything in life contains trade-off. “

Mr. Wright did not approach the reduction of climate change, which includes the growing risks of heating waves, drought, floods and species. Also, experts did not solve the cost of adapting to a hot planet The assessment can reach the dollars with trillions This ten years are only for developing countries.

Instead, Mr. Wright said that Britain’s greenhouse waste is rubbed faster than another wealthy country, it has been managing the main industries abroad.

“Once a large steel and petrochemical industry, the higher greenhouse waste, then I see a little ironic that is transferred to a diesel ship and the petrochemical industry is a little ironic.

Mr. Wright said he was not against low carbonic energy and advanced forms nuclear power and Geothermal powerIt is followed by more than one start in the United States.

However, he approach the energy “above the above” approach of “all the above” will not extend the wind farms in some communities in some communities. President Trump has been railed against wind farms, and it causes cancer by saying fake. Leadership stopped the approval Threatened to prevent projects for wind farms and private lands in folal lands and federal waters.

“The wind, increasing prices and increasing the anger of the growing citizen, whether to increase the wrath of citizen and increasing a citizen, regardless of being in a farm or coastal community,” Mr. Wright. “So the wind is in a slightly different position.”

Trump management policy unit is not popular among oil and gas producers. Many companies can raise the prices of the necessary materials such as Mr. Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs, can increase the prices of Canadian oil, can increase the prices of the necessary materials in the Midwest.

Mr. Wright, mostly the questions about the tariffs, saying, “It is very early,” Mr. Trump said in inflation in the first period.
