Mr. Wright is the founder and chief executive of Liberty Energy, an oil field services company based in Denver, Colorado. He is expected to support Trump's plan to maximize production of oil and gas and to seek ways to boost generation of electricity, demand for which is rising for the first time in decades.

Mr. Wright has called climate change activists alarmist and has likened efforts by Democrats to combat global warming to Soviet-style communism.
"There is no climate crisis, and we're not in the midst of an energy transition, either," he said in a video posted to his LinkedIn profile in 2023.
