Energy Sec Rick Perry says 'stubborn opposition' to fossil fuels risks keeping billions in poverty
U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry said "stubborn opposition" to fossil fuels is standing in the way of lifting billions of people out of poverty.
Perry, who casts doubt on the scientific consensus on climate change, said nations should have the right to responsibly use every fuel source.
The oil and natural gas industry has recently opposed Perry's efforts to force power markets to buy energy from failing coal and nuclear power plants. Tom DiChristopher | @tdichristopher Published 59 Mins Ago
