- US Senate Confirms Chris Wright as Energy Secretary
On February 3, 2025, the Senate confirmed fossil fuel executive Chris Wright to serve as energy secretary, a key post to promote President Donald Trump’s efforts to achieve U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market. Wright, CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, has been one of the industry’s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change. He says more fossil fuel production can lift people out of poverty around the globe and has promised to help Trump “unleash energy security and prosperity.”
- FERC, NERC to Review Bulk Power System Performance During Recent Cold Snap
FERC, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and NERC’s Regional Entities have launched a joint review of the performance of the bulk power system during the successive cold weather events in January, including a multi-day polar vortex that enveloped much of the United States with bitterly cold weather on January 19-24. A summary of the review is expected to be discussed at a FERC open meeting in the spring with a report to follow.
Thanks,
