O presidente eleito dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, nomeou neste sábado o executivo do setor de petróleo e gás, Chris Wright, porquê novo líder do Departamento de Virilidade (DOE).
Wright é fundador e CEO da Liberty Energy, uma empresa de serviços petrolíferos com sede em Responsabilidade, também espargido pela resguardo do uso de combustíveis fósseis.
Com uma visão alinhada à de Trump sobre a urgência de maximizar a produção de petróleo e gás, Wright deve ser uma figura médio na implementação da agenda energética do presidente, que inclui o aumento da produção de combustíveis fósseis e o espeque à expansão da geração de eletricidade.
O empresário compartilha da visão do presidente eleito em relação a acordos globais para o combate ao aquecimento global, posicionando-se porquê um crítico feroz dos ativistas climáticos. No pretérito, chamou esse público de “alarmistas”.
Em um vídeo publicado na rede social LinkedIn no último ano, Wright afirmou que “não há crise climática” e descartou a teoria de uma “transição energética” em direção a fontes renováveis.
Uso de combustíveis fósseis
Com um estilo irreverente, Wright se descreve porquê um “nerd da tecnologia” e defende o uso de combustíveis fósseis porquê chave para melhorar a economia e tirar as pessoas da risco de pobreza.
A nomeação de Wright para o função de Secretário de Virilidade precisa ser confirmada pelo Senado, e, se aprovada, ele substituirá Jennifer Granholm, que lidera o departamento na governo Biden. Granholm tem defendido energias renováveis, porquê eólica, solar e geotérmica, e bravo a expansão de veículos elétricos.
Em contraste, Wright provavelmente priorizará políticas que incentivem a produção de petróleo e gás, além de promover uma abordagem mais maleável em relação ao uso de fontes energéticas tradicionais.
O Departamento de Virilidade também tem um papel crucial na gestão da Suplente Estratégica de Petróleo dos EUA, um estoque que Trump já sinalizou querer reabastecer. A filial é responsável por uma série de programas de subsídios e financiamentos voltados para o progresso de novas tecnologias energéticas, além de supervisionar a segurança nuclear e a gestão de resíduos de força nuclear.
Decisão sobre o porvir energético
A demanda por força nos Estados Unidos está em incremento, impulsionada por fatores porquê o progresso da lucidez sintético, a popularização dos veículos elétricos e a crescente demanda por força associada a criptomoedas.
A subida ocorre em um momento em que a produção de petróleo nos Estados Unidos atinge níveis históricos. Com a nomeação, especialistas debatem porquê Wright e o governo Trump podem expandir ainda mais essa produção continua em debate.
