10:45 ET -- Liberty Energy is one of the most mentioned companies in the U.S. across all news items in the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data. Liberty Energy's Chief Executive Officer Chris Wright is Donald Trump's choice to head the Energy Department. Wright's selection leaves the door open for investing in technologies outside of oil and gas, such as nuclear and geothermal power. Wright believes in boosting U.S. oil and gas production, and will try help Trump achieve his drilling goals for U.S. energy. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
