Energy Secretary Chris Wright has a “dream”: to use natural gas to save the lives of millions of the world’s poorest.
“[T]he biggest challenge [is] 2 billion people on the planet cook their daily meals and warm their houses the same way all our ancestors did, burning wood, dung, and agricultural waste indoors,” causing “2 to 3 million easily preventable deaths alone.”
Wright has taken giant steps to make his dream a reality.
As a pioneer in the use of fracking and then as secretary of energy, Wright has been a leader in dramatically expanding the production of natural gas.
