August 13, 2025
Gov. Kelly Armstrong today welcomed U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright to North Dakota, highlighting the state’s key contributions to American energy security and shared goal with the Trump administration of U.S. energy dominance.
“As a Top 10 energy-producing state and the nation’s No. 3 oil producer, North Dakota stands ready to partner with the Trump administration and private sector to achieve U.S. energy dominance and provide reliable, affordable energy for all Americans,” Armstrong said. “We appreciate Secretary Wright coming to North Dakota to hear firsthand about our efforts to expand energy production – including enhanced oil recovery using captured CO2 – and strengthen the electric grid with an all-of-the-above strategy that combines baseload generation from coal and natural gas with intermittent renewable energy.”
