Rick Perry’s free market energy strategy

Published March 20, 2018 4:00am ET



Energy Secretary Rick Perry is focused on an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy as he moves into his second year as head of the Energy Department. He tells the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview that the Trump administration is not only focused on fossil fuels, but also wants to support a global market for U.S.-made solar and renewable energy technologies.

Perry is also working with the White House on rolling out an energy strategy for Appalachia this year, which will look to build out the petrochemical capacity of coal country, which is now at the center of the shale natural gas boom.
