When a fracking trailblazer and science advocate heads to Washington, you know the energy world is buzzing. This week, we're talking about how Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy, could shake up U.S. energy policy with his mix of gritty industry experience and no-nonsense pragmatism. From transforming the Barnett Shale to his vision for balancing environmental responsibility with human progress, Wright’s story is anything but ordinary. We’ll also unpack what his nomination says about the direction of American energy leadership, the challenges of modernizing the grid, and what COP29’s finance week could mean for global energy projects. It's a candid look at how technical know-how might finally bring some real-world solutions to Washington’s energy puzzle.
