The United States was already the world’s top oil and gas producer before President Donald Trump took office again in January. Chris Wright, the former CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy, believes climate change is real but says there are worse problems plaguing the world. Wright is playing a leading role in Trump’s efforts to boost fossil fuels and nuclear power while slashing grants and incentives for wind and solar.

Reuters Senior Energy & Environment Correspondent Timothy Gardner talks with Wright about his department’s recent climate report, Trump’s efforts to boost oil, gas, and coal, and how the US plans to deal with rising electricity demand – and energy bills – driven by power-hungry data centers and artificial intelligence.
