HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Monday that soaring U.S. power demand growth "is a train wreck waiting to happen," and requires big investments and regulatory changes to meet.
He added, in comments to the CERAWeek conference in Houston, that the administration of President Donald Trump intends to reverse what he called U.S. electric vehicle mandates.
