Administration slams anti-fossil activists as 'naive'

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell on Friday called climate activists “naive,” suggesting that the administration is not buying into a broad campaign to keep all fossil fuels in the ground.

Her comments came after a week of meetings between officials and foreign delegates who praised U.S. fossil fuel development from shale, specifically U.S. natural gas exports that European leaders and Latin American diplomats want to see become more a part of their economies.
