Donald Trump has chosen a mega expert in hydraulic fracturing techniques as the next Secretary of Energy of the United States: Who is Chris Wright? What connections does he have with Argentina?

(By Mary Molina, Maurizio, and Maximiliano Mauvecin) In a decision that promises to shape the future of U.S. energy policy, President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Chris Wright as his next Secretary of Energy. Wright is a recognized expert in hydraulic fracturing techniques, commonly known as fracking, and is credited as a "pioneer" in the U.S. shale revolution, which transformed oil and gas production in the country. His appointment reflects the continuity of Trump's energy agenda. Wright has an excellent relationship with Argentina.

A successful businessman with extensive experience in the energy sector

Chris Wright has forged a remarkable career in the energy field, standing out as a leader in hydrocarbon extraction and in implementing innovative techniques for shale gas production. Over more than three decades, he has worked in various areas ranging from nuclear energy to solar and geothermal, solidifying his position as a prominent businessman in the energy sector. Trump emphasized in his announcement that Wright has been "a leading technologist and entrepreneur," highlighting his experience across multiple energy sources.

Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy, a Denver-based company specializing in fracking services and natural gas, employing over 5,500 people with a market capitalization of approximately $3.33 billion. Under his leadership, Liberty Energy has been recognized for its innovative technologies in the exploration and production of unconventional oil and gas, playing a key role in the energy independence of the United States.

A consistent, somewhat skeptical, and differentiating analyst on global warming

One of the most striking characteristics of Chris Wright is his somewhat skeptical stance regarding climate change. On several occasions, he has expressed doubts about the relationship between fossil fuel combustion and global warming, aligning himself with the philosophy of Trump and other political leaders who downplay the urgency of the climate crisis. "There is no climate crisis, and we are not in the middle of an energy transition," he stated in a video posted on LinkedIn, reflecting his disagreement with the prevailing narrative on climate change. Wright has argued that fossil fuels are essential for the development of nations and has criticized efforts to decarbonize the economy within overly short timeframes.

In a recent interview, he said: "Interfering with the current energy system before we have built a new energy system offers no advantage," indicating his belief in the need for a more gradual transition to new energy sources.

Connections to the mining sector in Argentina

In addition to his role in the energy sector, Wright also has ties to mining in Argentina. He is a board member of EMX Royalty Corp., a global mining royalty company that owns a gold, silver, and copper project in Salta. This project, known as Diablillos, is at the pre feasibility stage and is expected to begin commercial production in the near future.

Wright's involvement in this project underscores his influence across multiple sectors of the natural resources industry, which could have repercussions for U.S. economic policy and its trade relations with Latin America.

A consistent future for energy policy

With Chris Wright's election as Secretary of Energy, it is anticipated that the Trump administration will adopt a more aggressive approach to fossil fuel production and the expansion of fracking. Wright's appointment also coincides with a rise in the global dollar value, which could affect energy markets and the automotive industry in the country. Shares of automobile manufacturers have fallen, and demand for electric vehicles is expected to decrease significantly, which could have implications for the economy as a whole.

In conclusion, Chris Wright's election as Secretary of Energy represents a significant shift in the direction of U.S. energy policy. His skeptical approach to climate change and his experience in fracking suggest that the Trump administration will seek to further strengthen fossil fuel production.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.

Asesinan a Charlie Kirk, aliado de Trump, en tiroteo durante evento en universidad de Utah: reacciones y claves del crimen

(Por Taylor-Molina) El gobernador Spencer Cox (Utah) califica el hecho como "asesinato político"; Trump ordena banderas a media asta y promete "justicia". La comunidad internacional está conmocionada. La paradoja es que tanto se dice que la derecha, los conservadores, los libertarios atacan a la prensa, hoy una vez más, todo pensador, esta vez un comentarista y miembro activo de los medios,  defensor de la familia,  del matrimonio, de las libres ideas, de la fé judeo cristiana, del respeto por la mujer,  por los niños, por la libertad, es asesinado.
