In this limited series from The New York Times, hear urgent and frank conversations about the growing threat of climate change with top world leaders, business leaders and policymakers recorded live at the annual Climate Forward conference in New York.
As energy secretary under President Trump, Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, has helped to shape an energy agenda defined by deregulation and fossil fuel expansion.
In a conversation with David Gelles, Mr. Wright explained why he would “absolutely” like to see countries follow the lead of the United States under the Trump administration and withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. Mr. Wright also forcefully defended the Trump administration’s crackdown on wind and solar power, claiming that there was a “fever pitch” of opposition around the country to the technologies.
