Energy Secretary Chris Wright is standing firm against utility companies and their Democrat allies who want to flood America's power grid with unreliable wind and solar energy, delivering a much-needed dose of reality to an industry drunk on green subsidies.
Wright's pushback comes as utility trade groups, Big Tech firms, major manufacturers, and the usual suspects in both parties have been pressuring the Trump administration to embrace the failed renewable energy policies that nearly brought Texas to its knees during Winter Storm Uri.
But unlike the previous administration's war on American energy independence, Wright understands what every patriot knows: you can't power the greatest nation on earth with windmills that freeze in winter and solar panels that don't work when the sun doesn't shine.
America First Energy Policy
This is exactly the kind of leadership Americans voted for when they gave President Trump a decisive mandate in 2024. While Democrats spent four years trying to force expensive, unreliable green energy down our throats, Wright is focused on what actually matters: keeping the lights on and energy affordable for working families.
The utility companies crying for more renewables are the same ones that have gotten fat off government subsidies while American families pay through the nose for electricity. They want to double down on the climate change scam that's already cost taxpayers billions.
"The United States needs reliable energy, not wind and solar power," Wright made clear, drawing a line in the sand against the green energy industrial complex.
Wright's common-sense approach puts American energy security first – something that was completely abandoned during the Biden regime's assault on our domestic energy production. Under Trump's leadership, we're returning to the policies that made America energy independent: drilling, mining, and using the abundant natural resources God gave us.
This is what happens when you put an actual energy expert in charge instead of climate activists who've never worked a day in the real economy. Wright knows that reliable, affordable energy is the foundation of American prosperity, not some virtue-signaling renewable scheme cooked up by globalists.
Will the utility companies finally admit that their green energy fantasy has been a costly failure for American families?
