The recent conference on energy innovation was marked by a noticeable absence of focus on climate change, with US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and acting ARPA-E Director Daniel Cunningham emphasizing American energy dominance and increased energy production to meet demand. Wright’s previous comments on climate change being a “side effect” of progress and criticizing climate policies as irrational were a stark contrast to the lack of mention of climate change at the summit. The conference highlighted certain technologies such as nuclear power and fusion, while downplaying renewables like wind and solar. Wright expressed enthusiasm for energy innovation and highlighted the importance of the energy sector in driving progress. Despite the shift in focus away from climate change, the conference showcased advancements in energy technologies and emphasized the need for innovation in the industry.
