U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright delivered remarks today at the 43rd annual CERAWeek by S&P Global, outlining the administration’s and Energy Department’s commitment to expanding the production of affordable, reliable and secure American energy.
Secretary Wright’s full remarks are below:
Thanks for that introduction and warm welcome.
I am honored to be addressing this distinguished crowd of energy leaders from around the world. I am honored to serve President Trump as the 17th Secretary of Energy. Energy is the enabler of everything that we do. Everything. Energy is not A sector of the economy, it is the sector that enables every other sector. Energy is life.
I’m honored to play a role in reversing what I believe has been very poor direction in energy policy. The previous administration’s policy was focused myopically on climate change with people as simply collateral damage.
My predecessor was on this stage one year ago saying that LNG exports would soon be in the rear view mirror. Think about that for a moment. Natural gas today supplies 25% of global primary energy and has been the fastest growing source of energy over the last 15 years.
