• Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirms Trump administration is actively courting owners of every refinery shuttered in the last decade.
• Goal is simple: restore American refining capacity, lower fuel prices, and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.
• Plan directly counters years of regulatory shutdowns that crippled domestic production and punished consumers at the pump.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced Tuesday that the Trump administration is in talks with the owners of every refinery closed over the past decade. The effort aims to bring those facilities back online and increase domestic fuel production.

Wright made the comments at an industry event in Houston. He told attendees the administration is reviewing every shuttered site to determine what obstacles stand in the way of reopening.

“to find what’s the most …”

Industry observers note that multiple refineries were forced offline under previous administrations due to aggressive environmental rules and permitting delays. Those closures tightened supply and drove up prices for American families.

Restoring refining capacity is seen as a direct way to ease pressure on consumers and strengthen national energy security. The move aligns with long-standing conservative calls to prioritize domestic production over foreign imports.
