Secretary of Energy Chris Wright may be the most underrated powerhouse in the entire Trump 2.0 Cabinet. While headline-grabbers like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dominate the national spotlight, Wright quietly goes about doing something far more important: fixing America’s energy policy with actual common sense.He doesn’t chase cameras or Twitter trends — he focuses on results. And he’s been relentlessly advancing policies that put affordability, reliability, and national security at the center of America’s energy strategy. In an administration filled with bold reformers, Wright might just be the unsung hero keeping the lights on — literally and figuratively.And he’s not stopping there. Wright is also dismantling the bureaucratic sprawl that grew like weeds inside the Department of Energy under Biden. A new DOE organizational chart released Thursday shows that a whole flock of “clean energy” offices — created as feel-good trophies after the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — have now been sent the way of the Edsel.
