Secretary Chris Wright

17th United States Secretary of @ENERGY

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who protect our country and freedoms.

At @ENERGY, thousands of veterans continue serving America by strengthening our energy security.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice!

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

American energy production means American prosperity.

With support from @DOE_EDF, Project Elkhorn will expand oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of America—supporting 2,800 American jobs and helping deliver affordable, reliable energy for families and businesses.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

President Trump’s Drill, Baby, Drill agenda is boosting oil production in the Gulf of America!

A loan from @DOE_EDF will bring more American oil to U.S. refineries, boost supply and help lower gasoline, diesel and jet fuel prices.

More American energy. More affordable fuel.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

.@SecWar is strengthening our military, putting warfighters first, and restoring a sense of purpose in military service.

His priorities are clear: military readiness, the well-being of our men and women in uniform, and inspiring the next generation to serve.

That mission deserves serious attention, not political distractions.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

ExxonMobil’s preliminary agreement to return to Venezuela is a testament to President Trump’s leadership.

A country deemed “uninvestable” earlier this year is already attracting significant commitment from one of the world’s largest energy companies.

Tremendous progress in a remarkably short time.

Congratulations to @StephenM on his appointment as White House Chief of Staff. I’ve appreciated Stephen’s partnership and his unwavering commitment to delivering on President Trump’s vision for America. I look forward to continuing our work together.

And a heartfelt thank you to @SusieWiles47 for her exceptional leadership, friendship, and service to our country.

The Trump administration is working to restart the Palisades Nuclear Plant, bringing a major source of electricity back to the grid.

More power to meet America's growing needs. More opportunity for American families.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

President Trump is the opposite of the Green New Scam policies that have ended economic growth in Europe.

@POTUS' commonsense energy agenda is about growing energy production, growing job opportunities and securing a more prosperous future for generations to come.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

The Trump administration is driving energy addition by keeping power plants online and ready to produce more energy, lower costs, and create more job opportunities for Americans.

Thankful for great leaders like @RepHuizenga who are helping make this a reality.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Michigan’s Palisades nuclear plant is set to make history as America's first retired nuclear plant to restart.

Backed by a @DOE_EDF loan, it’s the 1st of three nuclear restarts @ENERGY is advancing under President Trump to bring back affordable, reliable power for Americans.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Thanks to President Trump, Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Plant is set to restart later this year. It will lower costs for millions of Michiganders, create jobs and prevent blackouts.

We are all in on energy addition!

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Clean, beautiful coal is the backbone of America’s electricity grid.

This administration and @RepVanOrden are ending the attack on coal and restoring commonsense energy policies so Americans can enjoy reliable, affordable, and secure energy.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

American coal is essential to reliable electricity.

Enjoyed touring Dairyland Power Cooperative’s John P. Madgett Station in Wisconsin with @RepVanOrden, whose leadership is helping protect reliable American energy.

Grateful to the workers who keep our nation’s energy secure.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Visiting Alliant Energy’s natural gas plant in Wisconsin with @RepBryanSteil—a strong partner in advancing American energy.

@ENERGY will expand the plant’s capacity and strengthen reliability during peak winter demand—securing our energy supply and lowering costs for Americans.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Proud to announce a loan in Wisconsin that will deliver lower energy costs across the region alongside @RepBryanSteil. 

@ENERGY’s loan will help lower electricity bills for families and businesses across Wisconsin and Iowa, bring more reliable power to the grid, and fuel American prosperity for decades to come.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

President Trump's energy addition agenda is simple:

More energy, more jobs, and lower costs.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Visited Byron Nuclear Station, where Energy Department announced a loan to produce more electricity from Byron and other existing Midwest plants—one of the fastest, most affordable ways to add reliable power.

@POTUS’ energy addition agenda in action: more energy, lower costs.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

I recently visited @BWXT to see firsthand how they’re supporting critical missions across the United States, including Project Pele—a deployable nuclear microreactor.

The nuclear renaissance is here thanks to President Trump and it’s incredible to see the work being done to help make this a reality.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

Under the last administration, billions of dollars went out the door at @ENERGY.

We couldn’t find a SINGLE evaluation of cost impact. Money flowed to companies decarbonizing mac and cheese—not to projects lowering costs for Americans or improving grid reliability.

Thanks to @POTUS, that has ended.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

States with commonsense energy policies, like Texas, draw jobs and capital, boost wages, and improve lives. That’s the Trump administration’s goal.

States rejecting commonsense energy policies, like California, push jobs overseas, weaken businesses and raise energy prices.
